Nope, You Can not. Compressors for freezers are different and if it set up as an fridge, you will not have enough defrost (on freezers there are heaters)
Don't think it's the temp control problem, I suspect one on the defrost elements at the top is faulty, if food starting to defrost in the cycle indicates the lower element is working overtime.
Improper refrigerant charge. Its critical and measures coil temp and not cabinet temp. If you did add gas that is the answer. Take out all the gas, put vacuum pump on it, then weigh in exactly in ounces the correct charge, its listed on the spec. tag. Hope this helps and good luck.
Normally thermal overloads have a button like appearance on the compressor. Designed to open circuit when temp has caused distortion to the bi-metal contacts. Upon cooling will close again. Disconnect power before checking continunity on the overload terminals.
On commercial coolers, the fans are designed to run 24/7 to prevent the coils from freezing up. If the unit only runs 4 times a day, it will not maintain proper temps. Domestic units utilize the freezer compartment air to keep the refrigerator section at temp. Totally different set ups. I wouldn't do what you are suggesting with a commercial unit.
1. check for dirty condenser sometimes if its dirty enough, it'll trip the compressor. 2. if condenser is dirty, well pull out the old garden hose and hose down the condenser (turn off unit first!)(i don't want any accidents... je je je)
if you did step 2 and nothing yet, suspect faulty relay/ overload/ start capacitor failure (relay and start capacitors fail more often then the overload.
