That's a good test. Unplugging the thermisor at the circuit board is supposed to make the refer run fully on. You will have to give it several hours to see if it works. I would plan on leaving it unplugged overnight and see if the lower cabinet is colder in the morning.
Another test is to put the refer on propane power and remove the cover over the burner so you can observe when the flame lights calling for cooling. Remove the thermistor from its holder on the fins and have someone alternately place it in, and remove it from, a glass of water filled with ice. You should be able to make the burner cycle if the thermistor is in good working order. Give it time to react. If it is working, you are probably looking at needing a circuit board. I am betting on the thermistor being bad from what you have described.
I am not sure if my fans have ever run while operating the refer. I agree that with the switch position on the fins there is not enough heat there to cause the thermal switch to close. We have not been in temperatures that have caused a problem without the fans running so my experience is not conclusive.
