I can't find the mini manual (GE p/n 31-1000570) for the refrigerator but looking at the [https://www.searspartsdirect.com/model/1c9c4nvm1t-000432/ge-pwe23kyngfs-bottom-mount-refrigerator-parts|parts list] there are 3 temperature sensors in the refrigerator.

part #841 (fresh food shelves diagram), part #719 (fresh food section diagram) and part #955 (case parts diagram).
Considering that they all have the same part number WR55X10025, their resistance value should be very close in value at any given temperature allowing for a small temperature difference between the bottom and the top, inside the compartment.
Perhaps if you remove all 3 and then check their resistance at room temperature you may notice if one is noticeably different to the others.
If a sensor is faulty, search online for the ''part number only'' to find suppliers that suit you best.

Another thing to check perhaps is if the door seals are OK and are providing a good seal and also that the door is aligned correctly i.e. straight and parallel, to the cabinet, preventing cold air from escaping (or warmer air entering if you like).

Place a sheet of paper between the door and the door jamb and then with the door closed normally i.e. no pressure on it by you to keep it closed, try pulling the paper out. It will come out with a bit of an effort, but not easily and it shouldn't just fall out by itself. Do this at various places around the door, top, bottom and both sides.
