(Before the thermostat controls were set on medium and the temperatures inside were what it was suppose to be) So I gradually started cranking up the thermostat controls. Now the controls are on max and the temp in the freezer is -6/-4 and +36+38F which is what it needs to be, but the compressor is running constantly now. Any idea what might has happened that caused this change? And how to fix it? Thanks

The coils being blocked would prevent the fridge from running efficiently which is why it has to work harder to keep the fridge cool? Keep me posted as I have a similar problem as you.
