Defrost Heater Assembly
The defrost heater has likely suffered a catastrophic insulation failure in its metal sheath. When the defrost timer advances to the heating phase, current leaks to the refrigerator chassis, immediately tripping the GFCI or house breaker. The 'too cold' symptom is the result of the compressor running 100% duty cycle because the lack of successful defrosting has disrupted the thermostatic feedback loop.
