At best, a $23.95 new Danfoss freezer thermostat ($0.00 if scrounged from
a dead freezer) that turns on the bulb in the fridge when the freezer temp
rises to 15 F might cut the $51 annual yellow-tag cost to $3.60.

Or less, with more complex controls.

How could putting in an electric heater in a refrigerator make it
"more effecent" No dont answer that, It just wont make it more
"efficent" My Sears 19.5 resessed-covered with foam is more efficent
than Danfos ratings, Danfoss was-is not up to modern standards on
Compressors, [at least 5 years ago they were not].
