Dude, you should work for Danby. It's amazing what a little time and a 50 cent part can do to fix what amounts to simple poor design and inattention to detail. It's quite certain that the Danby hardware is capable of performing, they just didn't take time to make sure the stuff that controls that hardware controls it properly. Like buying a new car with a bad computer chip in it.
So, what I'm gathering from all this is that, while a 33k resistor makes the Danby get much colder, you don't need it anymore since you have an external temp controller. HOWEVER, the 150K resistor makes the Danby display an accurate temperature on it's blue display, and theoretically, by itself, should allow the Danby to cool itself an additional 2 degrees.
I'm unsure if my display is inaccurate or not. I have mine set to 36, and it swings between 37 and 34, and a temp reading of a glass of water sitting in the kegerator reads 36.5. (glass of water sitting right next to the cold plate). When I pour a few glasses of beer, the last beer reads 39.5. So I'm wondering if the temp sensor is also off a few degrees and by adding a 150K resistor, I might get my beer down to 38 where I'd like it. I think I'm going to get a resistor tonight and give it a whack.

Sometimes when I reflect back on all the beer I drink I feel ashamed.
Then I look into the glass and think about the workers in the brewery
and all of their hopes and dreams. If I didn't drink this beer, they might
be out of work and their dreams would be shattered. Then I say to myself,
"It is better that I drink this beer and let their dreams come true than
be selfish and worry about my liver."
