Oh, and I have my Danby t-stat set to its coldest setting.
Thanks in advance.

The question is, what liquid temp were you getting down to prior to using the 100K resistor? If you truly are getting 43-45 with a 100K resistor it would have had to have been 50+ withouth, which seems highly unlikely, even for a Danby. My guess is that you may not have the resistor making a good connection with the wires on the temperature sensor. Mine gets down to 36 with the 100K resistor (42 or so without).
If you truly are getting these temps with a good resistor connection, I would just use the 33K resistor. You can always adjusty the control panel to a higher setting if it gets too cold.
