I think you just need to get one with twin compressors, and separate cooling systems. Some single circuits only have one thermostat, and its in the fridge and set at about +6C, so at ambient anything below that, it cuts out totally. As the freezer temperature is governed by the fridge temperature setting the freezer then warms up to ambient, which is what has happened to yours.

Fridge/freezers will work in a room that is cold. In fact they are more efficient in a cold room as less work is required to keep the unit cold.
Also they have a thermostat so that if the fridge/freezer compartments get to, say, -17 they will stop cooling as there is no need to work beyond that.
If you mean a 'cold room' as in a walk in freezer, then maybe not I don't know but then again why would you try?
Sounds to me like the freezer part may be broken.

My Samsung side by side (with ice maker) comes in 4 models for different temperature ranges.
The "extended temperature" model is designed to work from 32 deg C to 10 deg C
It's a SR-22 but the fact they make it in several models and the lowest recommended temp is 10 degs suggests that fridges work best in temperate conditions.

No, apparently they cut out when it gets below a certain temperature. You would have to try catering equipment or something - those freezers are quite often kept in outhouses.

I think you must be unlucky or you have it on the wrong setting, as I have one in my thin walled gapped shed, also my sister has one in a shed with no door and that works ok. look at the setting you have and set it to a higher number as lower numbers usualy mean that it won't get as cold. then it would keep defrosting.
