When its really hot and the outside temps approach the temp of the condenser, you need a lot of air going over the cooling fins to get rid of the heat.

When running on 120 VAC you can even use a home type fan to blow air onto the condenser.
Now the real solution is to have a compressor type fridge, but they are pricey, make a certain amount of noise, and won't run on propane.
