We have this exact problem. Except for us, what always happens is the vents get stuck in the open position, and everything in the fridge gets too cold and freezes. Piece of shit Frigidaire Gallery. Now the freezer side has stopped defrosting altogether, so I have to scrape a bunch of ice out of it at least once a week. Can't afford a new one, and fixing it isn't worth the money because like you said, it's just going to happen again in 2-3 months.
