I'd be looking for a wiring diagram on the back of the unit or inside the bottom rear cover. The wire colors and numbers on the thermostat would guide on where to connect what
The green wire is a safety ground and will attach to the body of your freezer somewhere not far from the thermostat. It really does not matter where it attaches as long as it is a clean piece of metal. Here is a link to a wiring diagram but it is not showing the green wire.

Wiring diagram of the chest freezer turned into chest fridge. The junction box is not required if all connections are made inside the fridge service compartment. Active (A) connection passes via latching relay terminals inside the thermostat.
It is the defrost terminator terminal. It is connected to a thermodisc, like a Klixon device. When the evap temp. reaches a preset temp. it forces the termination of the defrost cycle. http://www.victory-refrig.com/index.htm
Go to this site as it has wiring diagrams of freezers. check out the VF-1 freezer diagram.
Hope this helps.
It could be the thermostat. When you catch it in a cycle where it's warming up, gently tap the dial with the handle of a screw driver. If it starts chances are it's bad. If you know electricty you can jump the two terminals on the thermostat to do this test.
I'd say the freezer thermostat is stuck closed. You will have to verify this with a meter. The wiring diagram is on the back of most freezers. Good luck.
If it is the thermostat that is defective the two wires that go to the thermostat for compressor operation can be connected together which would power up the compressor. Unplug the unit before attempting to connect the two wires. after connection is made plug it back in and if the compressor operates and the freezer comes down in temperature you definitely have a bad thermostat.
I have a danby mini fridge and freezer and noticed the same problem. The temperature dial has NO NUMBERS ON IT! it just has a strip that goes from light to dark blue. That's it. I looked in the manual and it doesn't say anywhere which way is colder...it makes sense that the darker the blue the colder the temperature but why keep us guessing?
