that's a defrost issue, could be one or more of three parts.....Defrost timer/adapter, defrost thermostat or the defrost heater.

I would start by testing the bi-metal with an ohm meter, it's located behind the rear panel in the freezer attached to the wire harness. It must be cold while testing for continuity.

Then you are going to need this part (2304095) it's located in a box near the compressor in the back of the unit. Your model doesn't have a defrsot timer.
