If the door gasket is good, where else would all the moisture be coming from on the fins? I keep enough water in the outside drip pan to cover the end of the drain hose so outside air doesn't get in the fridge.

that's some thing I wasn't doing. I drained all that water from the drip pan. I left a water in it yesterday after watching a couple of Video's one of y'all told me to watch. I learned a lot from them.
Answer to one of you. yes I am the original owner.
The cooling unit has never been replaced. Thanks again.
Man I am getting smarter.

Are you the original owner? Has the cooling unit ever been replaced? Somewhere there has to be warm air entering the fridge box.

Review the videos here: Refrigerator Repair #3&5 cover the condensation drain, yes it can cause high refrigerator temps.

I would say that you are getting outside air coming up the condensate drain hose. I'm told that you have to put a loop upwards then put the end of the drain out the top grill holes of the outside cover. This makes an airtight trap in the drain line.

I personally doubt the tiny bit of air that may somehow come up the drain hose would make the fridge run this warm.

My started acting this way...sometimes good, mostly not so good. Turned out to be trash inside the sealed tubing from ammonia breaking down, a rather common problem. Only solution was to replace the cooling unit.

Thanks for all the possibility's, I am now going to try to answer all your questions. First off the guy talked me into replacing both fans as they did not seem to turn very fast or put out much air. He told me they don't last very long and mine were getting old and while I had the refrigerator out, go ahead and replace them.
When he plugged them in direct they ran, just did seem to put out much air. When he wired past that little thing that tells the fans when to run they ran, hooked them back up and they would not. So he replaced it with the same kind 130/15F.
Then he heated that little thing with a hair dryer and the fans kicked on.
The temp was then set on 7 and was allowed to run approximately 6 hours. the fans shut off and the temp inside the fridge was 60 degrees.
I then turned it up to #8 and it ran all night and brought the inside down to 42 degrees as the outside temperature had dropped to about 60 degrees over night. As the day started to warm outside so did the inside of the fridge. The fins inside the fridge did nothing but drip water all day. It put off so much water that the drip pan outside nearly filled.
It does the same on LP or AC.
The refrigerator only started doing this last trip out which was only a couple of weeks ago.
One other thing, the circuit board was the first thing he checked.
Ok, did I miss any thing.
Hey, I really do appreciate the help.
Yes, I thought the price for the fans were a little steep but I called the dealer and that was the price they quoted.

Did U replace the thermister??? only 22.00
If not try that
Also it could be a bad cicute board or at worst Blocked cooling unit
First try a new thermister as its cheap and easy

With that much condensation, either the door gasket is bad (do the dollar bill test) or the restrictor is missing from the condensate drain line.

Easy (and free) to check both.

Checked both, both fine.
Even the repair man don't know.
