The door liner is not pushing in on a good door switch to open the contacts to the light, result: light stays on causing the frig to do all those bad thing already mentioned. Remedy: realign the door or replace a cracked or broken door liner, or… glue on a square of plastic to the liner to extend it so that it now activates the door switch plunger (pushes it in enough to make it disconnect power to the light)

Short cut: Quickly open the food section door and reach in and lightly touch the light bulb. If it is warm that means it is staying on all the time. Next press in the door switch. If light goes out, the door is not pressing in on the the light swich plunger, see above.
