How accurate is the thermometor

Our fridge feels pretty cold but it seems the thermometer said it's 51 F when a fridge should be about 40 F, we actually turned it down (not so cold as it was freezing up)... Just wondering if anyone has had inaccurate results?

    The temp will be slightly warmer than actual as the sensor on the circuit board which is encased in the twine, which is in the rubber thing.   So the heat of it running causes it to read higher than the actual external temperature.
