And it was a fancy smanshy model with shiny bright thingies and smooth glide drawers!

Chris, the same logic is applied if you overload your fridge/freezer. The air needs to circulate in order for the thermostat to know what it's supposed to be doing. If there's too much in there (particularly the freezer) then it will start doing stupid stuff.
I would recommend not putting so much stuff in there and see how that works for you.
