Bumper crop of cherries, half my apples are a bumper and the other half have a couple apples on them never seen anything like it. Pears are so-so and plums are a bumper crop. Deer pass up all of them except the plums they absolutely love plums.

I will offer my diagnoses to the cause of the cracking with the provided picture info and what I would do to repair it. Heating and cooling is a factor however all commercial grade units go through this same cycle without cracking problems. In the picture(s) provided the main factor I see is when they cut the hole for the door they did not cut the corners with a radius.

To repair I would drill a hole at the end of the crack, v out the crack and reweld, then I would weld a piece of flat stock diagonal across the corners and I would do this on all corners regardless if they are cracked or not.

I fixed our 8 year old stainless frig with the frig on top and freezer on the bottom. Bought all parts off amazon and did it for under $350. if you know someone with the car gauges and vacuum pump the new ones use 134a some soldering with silver solder and your back in business.
