First; thermistor wire, nope, it won't go to a common post with a nut attachment but rather inside the "black box" circuit board control center.
My Fridge is the series RM 2862 but am willing to bet the boards are very similar so; remove the cover (can be a pain) and look for 2 plugs in the upper left corner of the board with P1 & P2 printed on the board beside them, the upper plug is the P1 with six contacts that is the control panel connection to the front of the fridge and the one right below it is the P2 plug with 2 contacts, this P2 is your thermistor connection.
If others with a fridge similar to yours find these instructions to be incorrect PLEASE chime in!
Sagging foil liner, yep, that will inhibit cooling air from performing it's role efficiently using natural convection up through the rear of the cabinet. You need to make sure that the path cooling air will take up through the back of the unit and over those coils and fins is as un-obstructed as it can be.
A bent fin is not going to cause any detrimental effect other than to perhaps keep you from scalping yourself when trying to get your head in far enough to look down to see the fans location/function. Don't ask, the scar is gradually fading!
