Solution #1 could well be one of the problems, however it is problem that can show up with certain types of produce, from time to time.
The
crispers are at the lowest part of the machine, and thus the coldest area.
The complaints seem to come more often when the machine has light
actively and colder temps in the kitchen and the cold air stratifies to the bottom.
The thermostat as it ages wears internally in a manner that causes a given setting to run colder
albeit slight than when it was new.
Setting the control a half number or letter warmer, just may be enough.
I have had many old machines that although they ran fine had to be turned warmer to the point where they couldn't be set any warmer, yet still had a
tendency to freeze. In that case the only solution was a new control.
P.S. your thermostat may have an internal calibration screw to compensate for altitude. This calibration screw can be used to adjust for a warmer setting if necessary.

- I might add there is another school of thought about this problem, and believe me, it's a problem that's been beat around for a long time.
That theory is that the tstat should be set to a colder position, not warmer. The reasoning was that it would keep the fan running more often for longer periods of time preventing the coldest air from stratifying in the bottom. I guess it comes down to pick your poison.
Many years ago, frigidaire built a machine with a second fan motor in the fresh food compartment that ran all the time.
This machine never had this problem, but of course that was back when appliances were well build. Jack...
