It sounds to me like whoever installed the Amish cooling unit in October... did not do it right. There are two sealants that have to be put on the cooling unit BEFORE you shove the cooling unit into the fridge. They can be messy to deal with but they put a seal/barrier between the hot tubes in the Amish cooling unit from the fins.
That's a shame but not unfixable. I'd start by calling the place that did the work in October. Then if they would not redo it (take the cooling unit out...clean it up... put the sealant on like they should have done in the first place...and install it again) I'd call the manufacturer of the unit. You should be able to know who that is because they're the ones that you would call if the unit did not cool. It should have a warranty if it's truly an Amish Unit.
Find the serial and model numbers on the back of the unit. (Open the outside vent door and look for information.) Does it say PINES RV ??
Maybe it was bought through

NOT CORRECT AT ALL:
The "sealant" is not a sealant at all. The "stuff" is a TRANSFER MASTIC that facilitates the faster transfer of cold from the Cooling Unit coils to the back wall of the refer box. ONCE that Mastic is installed (MORE and excess is better), you then install a bead of real sealant on the inside corner edges where the foam of the CU meets the Box. You then use HVAC foil tape to completely seal off the outside edge of the CU to the box. There is NOTHING that has to do with "hot" coils or the hot parts of the CU. There is NO connection between the Freezer and the Lower refer. No air gaps and BOTH are sealed from each other. Do NOT use the Transfer Mastic or do NOT use enough and the CU will not transfer the cold well. Doug
