You know that whole myth about a fridge not being able to run 24/7 isn't true. In certain situations yes, it can't run constantly. If the compressor gets to hot it will lock up. As long as the compressor temputure stays at a reasonable operating temp your fine.

Example. We have a deep freeze in our garage. The avg garage temp is 95F. The deep freeze has run non stop every day since we bought it 10 years ago. The only break it gets is during the night, and it still runs 75% of the time.

If you want lower temps you should turn it into a chiller. Just putting the radiator in it will not be nearly as effective.
