Smaller cabinets are more sensitive to placement than large ones: boxes stacked against the sides or back restrict the heat rejection path and cause longer run times. Clearing space around the freezer is the first thing to try when cycling gets worse in summer.
A light that stays on is a real fault worth fixing, since it adds heat continuously. The door switch is a modest part, and a technician can confirm it quickly. Unplug the freezer before removing any trim to reach the switch.
