I am looking at the parts diagrams and don't see a second fan or evaporator coil for the fridge. Do you have a link?

I don't... maybe this model doesn't have twin cooling? Wrong assumption on my part then but I think everything else we talked about is still reliable

Did you do the diagnostic test? I think it's 01 and 02 (check the sheet)

Just a resistor that changes based on temperature.
Only on DDF does 24/6 mean 24/5/half/half

This sounds like exactly what I thought. It was left open and got ice in the vent that needed to defrost.
The others sound like they know the devices much better than me, but I have the experience of having gone through it a few times.

If its working well then no, i would just say i misdiagnosed. The icing up in the spot you had was classic for a struggling compressor, but its reasonable to think that a door left open could also cause that over time. Sorry

A year later
Last couple of weeks I started finding puddles of water in front of my fridge
I also noticed that the ice cube bucket isn't getting refilled

I guess no one wants to help me guess

It seems that pesach time the ice cube bucket was moved over to the front and all the ice cubes fell to the freezer floor and every time the defroster went on it left me with a puddle

Is the evaporator drip tray overloaded, or cracked?
