If it is a "frost free" fridge-freezer, try DEFROSTING IT. Ice can build up out of site and stop cold air circulating in fridge. I had this problem and after defrosting it now works fine.
No
Frost can form in a frost-free freezer if the door is frequently opened, allowing warm, moist air to enter and create condensation that freezes. Additionally, if the freezer is overfilled, air circulation may be restricted, leading to frost buildup.
The problem is, because it's a good insulator. The way a freezer works, you have a load of pipes at the back, you compress a gas in the pump, that makes it hot and loses the heat out of the back of the fridge or freezer. It then pipes this condensed, compressed room temperature gas into the freezer, it then expands, evaporates, gets cold, and so the coldest bits of the fridge are where this expanded gas is flowing through. The problem is that wants to get the heat from the fridge, but if you've got a great big layer of ice, that's going to insulate the cooling part of the fridge from the contents of your fridge, so the fridge is going to be warmer, which means that the actual fridge-freezer is going to work harder to keep cold, which means it gets even colder, it means you get more ice that will build up so it'll go horribly wrong until the fridge just conks out.
because there are a bunch of white molicules in the frost.
Your food starts to get a freezer burn
1 Use a frost-free freezer. Frost-free freezers are freezers that are temperature-controlled in order to keep frost from developing in the freezer in the first place.2 Place and use a dehumidifier in the room where you have your freezer set up, if you notice your freezer has frost buildup on days when there is high humidity. A high humidity level in the air is likely the problem if you notice frost build up in your freezer during the summer months.3 Close the doors to the freezer at all times. If you notice the doors to the freezer don't close securely when you push them shut, make sure it is secure. Also, keep children from standing with the freezer door open when they aren't getting something out of the freezer in order to keep warm air that contains moisture out of the freezer. When the doors to the freezer finally close, the moisture in the warm air instantly freezes and creates frost.4 Adjust the temperature in the freezer to a lower level. When you see frost building up in your freezer, it is often caused by too high of a temperature in the freezer unit. By adjusting the temperature to a lower level, you can eliminate the frost build up.5 Clean your refrigerator to keep frost from building up. If you keep moisture and dirt out of your freezer, these materials can't turn into frost.
Frost-free freezers will keep down the moisture produced by your refrigerator. They also enable a larger amount of space in the freezer compartment by preventing moisture to encompass the areas around your freezer.
get a new freezer- maybe a frost free freezer that wouldn't collect ice and wouldn't need to be defrosted.
I think if you keep your hand long enough in a freezer it can get frost bite, but no. You can not get freezer burn from touching a freezer. That requires a long peorid of time.
It is possible that the defrost timer is bad or that there is a leaking gasket on the door. IF the frost appears far in the freezer, it is probably the defrost timer. If the frost is built up near the inside edges of the door, the gasket is loose or bad
All of the cooling in refrigerators is normally done in the freezer compartment. A fan circulates cold air from the freezer into the refrigerator compartment to cool it. Most likely this fan has quit working.
