What follows in bold and quote is a brief description of a domestic fridges temperature regulation ..
I wonder if anyone would like to spot diagnose the likely problem here ..
"Not keeping food cold. When you turn temperture up it starts to freeze food in fridge."
My guess is that the thermostat is playing up . reasoning is
a, the compressor is working (fridge can get cold)
b, It does not seem to be related to a defrost timer issue (fault is regulated by thermostat adjustment)
My considered guess is that the contacts on the thermostat are corroded and it is switching from not cool at all at low settings to cold/freezing with nowhere in between ..
Do you think i have almost got it right ?
