check position of thermistat bulb it should be on the plate

That's a very common refrigerator, without automatic defrost, so it would be better to just lower the temp, perhaps to the 4 O'Clock position or so, that may help extend times between defrosts. At least you know it is working well. Frequent opening and closing of the door can lead to excessive icing as well, so if it's a often used unit, you may encounter that regardless.
Hope this is helpful, please rate and comment, Thank You

NOTE: This
is a multi-solution answer since I don't have all the tech from your question to pinpoint your problem
But the solution is in here generically, if you read and study the solutions very,very carefully.
First I would check cold control. Thats where you turn it off, if your temp is not warm. it can
be defective and not shutting off. If your temp is warm proceed with the following.
I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if FREEZER CONTROL is turned WARMER WHICH MAKES THE REF COLDER AND VICE-VERSA. SEE?
The ref. temp should be about 33-35
The Freezer temp should be 0 to 10 Any thing below these temps is overkill and a waste of elect
The higher the number you turn it up to is the coldest
Also this might be a common Defrost problem, Ice
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.
Take out back panel of freezer to check for ice buildup. The coils should be clean.
There are three components to a defrost system- a heater,heater thermostat, and a timer unless you have a defrost electronic card.
Its best handled by a Technician but you could possibly do it by taking your model number to the nearest appliance parts store and asking for the parts. They are mostly located in freezer ,behind back panel on freezer coils.except the card which is usually located in ref The parts store will have info
Also check fan undernearh Ref in the rear
Clean condenser coils underneath
Make sure back cover is on the fridge. Some take them off and throw them away.
make one out of cardboard if its gone, using the holes of the old one.

Check Temp inside freezer. It has to be down to about 10 or 15 degrees
This can cause slow ice making if its too high even tho its freezing everything else at 25 degrees
The ref. temp should be about 33-35
The Freezer temp should be 0 to 10 Any thing below these temps is overkill and a waste of elect
The higher the number you turn it up to is the coldest
The icemaker is 110v
See if water is in icemaker.
Pour water in Ice Maker and wait to see if it ejects.
If it ejects thenyou need to replace water valve in rear bottom of fridge(Its the part that
attaches to water line out of wall)
If it doesn't eject then it is a faulty Ice Maker.
If its leaking or no water at icemaker or door either one, then the valve at the rear bottom of ref needs replacing
First I would check the fan in the freezer. Listen to see if it is running
It moves air to the ref from the freezer
Then check to see if freezer control is turned WARMER, which makes the Ref. colder
Also if it is getting drinking water to the door but not to the icemaker (or vice versa) Then you need to replace
the water valve at the bottom rear of the fridge. It is a double valve and one side is not working
Also this might be a common Defrost problem, Ice
is not being melted by the defrost system.The fan can't blow through the coils into the fridge.

WATER SPLASHING IN FREEZER AT ICEMAKER
THE FILL TUBE IN BACK OF REFRIGERATOR CAN SLIP
AGAINST THE FILL RESERVOIR CAUSING A PARTIAL BLOCKAGE
OR BECOME CLOGGED WITH ICE.
REMOVE THE ICEMAKER AND INSPECT THE FILL TUBE.
RUN WATER IN TUBE TO ELININATE BLOCKAGE AND CHECK
TEMP IN FREEZER. IF TEMP IS BELOW 0 DEGREES, THATS
OVERKILL AND USUALLY A WASTE OF ELECTRICITY TO KEEP IT THAT COLD, NOT TO MENTION THE FILL TUBE FREEZING UP

The two lines entering/exiting the lower right of the attached photo (back view) should be the condenser as the lines on left side appear to be for evaporation. Looks like they buried the coils inside the right side panel and possibly the top. The coils may be bonded to panel metal and the metal is what radiates extracted heat.

Question edited for a lot more clarity. Amazon, Walmart or Danby direct. https://www.google.com/search?q=danby+dkc146sldb+ptc+relay+replacement ..

No it is time for a new one. There is either a leak on the inner liner or the insulation between the inner layer and outer layer has broken down and is causing condensation.

If your Danby DBC514BLS-1 beverage fridge is not cooling and you have noticed frost on the back coil, it could be a sign of a problem with the fridge's defrost system. Here are some steps you can try to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the fan to see if it is running. If the fan is not running, it may be a problem with the fan motor or the control board.
2. Check the defrost timer and thermostat. The defrost timer controls the defrost cycle, and the thermostat monitors the temperature inside the fridge. If either of these components is faulty, it could cause the fridge to frost up.
3. Check the wiring and connections. Make sure all the wires are securely connected and that there are no loose or frayed wires.

it is possible to replace the fan in your model of fridge, If you decide to attempt the repair yourself, you will need to purchase the correct replacement fan for your fridge and have the necessary tools to make the repair.

Increase the temperature inside by turning the knob anticlockwise. Put a thermometer in the fridge, it should be 3 or 4 degrees Centigrade. https://www.google.com/search?q=Danby+fridge+model+DFF100C2BSSDD+too+cold ..

The most likely cause for the fridge becoming too cold after a period of time is an issue with the thermostat. Unfortunately, the thermostat for the Danby DFF100C2BSSDD is not easily accessible and will require a qualified technician to diagnose and repair.

The power switches for a Danby Beverage Center Model DBC514BLS-1 are the power on/off switch and the temperature control switch. The power on/off switch turns the unit on or off and the temperature control switch allows you to adjust the temperature of the beverage center.
