At 107 outside, I would not expect much cooling from my refrigerator either.
Was it running on gas or electric?
If on electric, that is probably the problem. The 300 watt heating element only puts out about 950 Btu's per hour, while the gas burner is 2,200 Btu input, or around 1800 output, or twice as much cooling.
Because tomorrow is not likely to be cooler, I would suggest freezing a bowl of ice tonight, and move it into the refrigerator section around 10 am tomorrow, to help keep the temps close to 40 as possible. Some foods degrade quickly between 45 and 140F. So keeping it below 45 is essential, and below 41 is required by the Health Department in every state.
Things like butter and fruits will not be damaged in the refrigerator at 60F, but any meats should be considered at risk of contamination. Raw eggs can survive 50F for a while, but I heard that hard boiled eggs should not be stored above 41F.
When it is 100F outside, I think that only ice will keep the refrigerator from overheating. I used to put cubes in the drip tray, so they can melt, and the water goes out with the other condensation. About 10 cubes will work, at 10 am and then check around 2 PM to add about 10 more cubes.
