Help - I Love My Frigidaire Side by Side Refrigerator (model FRS26ZRF) But It's Running All the Time

We just bought this house with all Frigidaire appliances; our side by side fridge works perfectly, with even temperatures, a well working ice maker, etc. very good. It is probably 8-10 years old, but I like it a lot.

The only problem is that it seems to run a lot, and often there is hot air coming from the removable grate located at the bottom front. I have moved it out and vacuumed all the coils which were not that dirty.

Is there something else I should do as I would really like to keep this fridge, even if it is older, because it works so well other than the hot air and constant running. Would greatly appreciate any advice (other than buying a new one!!)

Thanks so much.

PS - Our stove, microwave oven and dishwasher are all Frigidaire and working great too! I would definitely recommend buying Frigidaire appliances just so long as fixing this problem doesn't cost me an arm and a leg.
