    Door maybe bend stopping seals working compressor would then work extra hard and all that cool will drop to the crisper. Stick a slip of paper in various places around the closed door and feel the tention on the paper as you pull it out.

    Have you tried putting a thermometer in the bottom half of the fridge to see how cold it is. If you’re setting the thermostat to minimum and the compressor is cycling it still maybe getting too cool before the thermostat cuts out. Should be something like 2 to 4 degree.

    One trap is the compressor may appear to be cycling on the thermostat but maybe be in fact cycling off and on via the thermal cut out on the side of the compressor.

    If the thermostat is faulty causing the compressor to run continuously the compressor will get hot and the thermal cut out will open stopping it and when it cools close giving the impression its doing so via the thermostat. If that is the case the bottom half will drop below 0 degrees.
