From your description, you have a partially block cooling unit. Taking it out and burping it does NOTHING except let it work for a few days which is the exact same thing that happens when you do your turn off and then back on. If I had you unit, I would verify all operational criteria and then run bypassed on 120, for 24 hours. THAT will tell you the condition of a cooling unit. Your model, I would expect it to freeze water and get down to probably 26 degrees. I do NOT measure air temp, I measure the water temp inside of a glass of water. Have you owned the refer since new and have you ever traveled with it or just go to the same place or leave it at the same place year round? I KNOW you state never off level, but I find it hard to believe that in 15 years, you have never traveled and stopped for a lunch or overnight at times and the refer was out of spec level for those short times.
