Could it be that it defrosts only by raising the temperature for a few hours just a bit to get the same effect and they food stays there?

That's way the non-smart walk-in coolers work; every 12 hours they turn off the fans and heat the cooling element for about 15 minutes to melt any ice that's built up on it.

Ice anywhere else is treated as a separate problem and turning the cooler off to fix it is not typically an available option.
