Lightbulb You can also add insulation.

Yep. With just one thermostat located in the Fridge section, the freezer can fall into "defrost mode" when the Fridge isn't operating enough. My compressor-based Fridge has the same issue.

You can reduce the scope of the problem by adding some of the "space-blanket" double-sided foil insulation to the Freezer door, and also to the front portion of the freezer case bottom. Insulating the freezer section from the fridge section helps. (But don't insulate above the Fridge cooling fins.)
