I've seen this on a fridge with icebox. Basically the thermostat is
saying "it's cold enough" so the fridge compressor hardly ever starts.
That means that although the fridge portion may be cold enough (because
the thermostat says so), the freezer doessn't (because it relies on the
compressor running for the main fridge). A seperate freezer unit may be
fine though.

To be clear it's a pure chest freezer, with no fridge attached!

Does it have a frost free feature? These at least require the freezer
to do some cooling also the tubes that pipe the waste water away will
freeze up. I think its the waste water pipes freezing up that would be
the problem.
