I've got to agree with Jeff, Mechanic. That configuration is going to produce a lot of superheat. The system either needs more refrigerant and/or a less restrictive metering device. That is a lot of current draw for a fridge that probably pulled half that as a when it was a refrigerator!
I've never built a dehydrator or crisper, but if you don't want to cut the lines, perhaps a dehumidifier ducted to the cabinet? Pull air from the top of the cabinet into the dehumidifier, then duct the exhaust into the bottom where you cut the hole?
Otherwise, you could perhaps throw in a piercing valve, and add a small amount of refrigerant (if you have it) until the superheat values come down. Might be worth a try.
Btw, I didn't see the pics either, Jeff
