Peter, I have the same fridge and it never dropped any colder than 43F. Is this the same issue you were having? Did changing the thermostat fix it?
Thanks!

شما یا درجه ترموستات یخچال را بر روی بیشترین مقدار قرار دهید یا دو سیم ترموستات را به یکدیگر وصل کنید که همواره کمپرسور یخچال روشن بماند و خاموش نشود
بعد از چند ساعت برسی کنید ایا شرمای یخچال مناسب است؟ اگر مناسب بود یعنی ترموستات یخچال ایراد دارد و اگر باز هم سرد نبود مشکل از کم بودن گلز مبرد است و باید گاز سرر کننده تزریق شود
You either set the refrigerator thermostat to the highest value or connect the two thermostat wires to each other so that the refrigerator compressor always stays on and does not turn off.
After a few hours, check if the refrigerator is suitable. If it was suitable, it means that the refrigerator thermostat has a problem, and if it is still not cold, the problem is due to the lack of coolant, and cooling gas should be injected.
