You have no cap tube clog, but if the best the freezer can do is 20 degrees, you have either low refrigerant, a bad compressor, or both.

ill sum up what started this, the icemaker stopped working properly so I check both sets of water solenoids and everthing seemed ok, then I realized the freezer temp was only 20 to 25 degrees and the compressor would only stop for the heating element cycle then the freezer warmed up more, I decided to add some r134a with a subco adaptor then the return line from the evap to the compressor froze up, then I read appliance mans response and I thought he got it right , with a restricted not a block cap tube or possibly a drier restriction, thank you for your response I would love to read more from you about this.

The frost line should not be near the compressor, remove som refrigerant till it backs off, then check freezer temps.
