Outside air temp between 65 and 95 low to high. After 24 hours;
Freezer is 0 and fridge is +23 at 65 outside 7am
Freezer is +12 and fridge is +50 at 95 outside 3pm

I don't see how a inside fan is going to aid the freezer though.
The sensor is on the cooling fins in the fridge. Without air movement they may be cold enough to turn of the cooling unit. A fan will move the air around making the cooling unit run longer as it's now trying to cool the entire fridge instead of just the cooling fins.
As I mentioned, we had frozen eggs on the top shelf, warm beer on the bottom and mushy ice cream in the freezer. With just the cheap little fan everything in the fridge was nice and cold and the freezer items were frozen solid.
