Yes, both could be part of it. Rust on the thermistor or its clip can throw off the reading, and if it isn't making good contact with the fin, the fridge keeps running and freezes things. Frost right next to the thermistor also skews what it senses. Clean up the fins, and make sure the thermistor clips tightly to the correct fin (the 10th from the right on most N6/N8 models). Given the rust, replacing it is cheap insurance. The 636658 thermistor fits the N64X and is in stock.
