Sounds like the evaporator coil is icing up. Once the coil ices up no air can flow through and you essentially have a very large ice chest. The thermostats on these coolers are actually sensing coil temperature not air temperature. I would want to check that it is set properly and that it turns the compressor off and on. If you have an old mechanical thermostat with a knob with settings from 0-9 it should be set on 4-5. Anything higher and it WILL ice up occasionally.
Your defrost system is bad. Replace the defrost thermostat and defrost heater in the freezer.
