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
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
Your food starts to get a freezer burn
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.
Believe it or not, it keeps food cold! Hints in the name.

The Frigidaire model AFFC1466D is a self defrosting chest freezer model.
A freezer frosts up when warm, moist air enters the freezer and condenses on its surfaces. This can be prevented by ensuring the freezer door is properly sealed, avoiding frequent door openings, and not overloading the freezer with warm items. Regularly defrosting the freezer can also help prevent frost buildup.
Your freezer is building up frost because warm air is entering the freezer and then condensing into frost when it comes into contact with the cold surfaces inside. To prevent this from happening, make sure the freezer door is tightly sealed, avoid leaving the door open for extended periods of time, and check the door gasket for any signs of wear or damage. Additionally, regularly defrosting your freezer and keeping it organized can help maintain proper airflow and prevent frost buildup.
Yes. As the freezer runs for a long time, ice will accumulate on the inner wall. If it is not cleared in time, it will affect the operating efficiency of the freezer, like take long time to reach temperature and consume more power. Automatic defrosting is achieved by controlling a certain factor (freezer downtime) to separate from the ice layer in the refrigerator, and finally automatically discharge the ice water from the cabinet. Compared with traditional manual defrosting, automatic defrosting avoids the possibility of damaging the cabinet liner of freezer. Due to the differ cooling system, the cost of automatic defrosting freezers is higher than that of traditional manual defrosting freezers.
Defrosting gets rid of any ice that's frozen in the refrigerator and freezer.
Your freezer will no longer freeze food and will need replaced.
A frost-free freezer regulates the temperature at a level to prevent the build-up of too much frost - so that it should never need defrosting by the user. The internal temperature is low enough to keep the food frozen - but not low enough to allow a build-up of frost. An auto-defrost freezer allows a layer of frost to build up over time - when it reaches a preset level - the appliance raises the temperature enough for the frost to melt (but maintains the working temperature to keep the food frozen).
The best freezers depend on whether you need them for commercial or residential use. The Frigidaire FFU12F2HW is the best self-defrosting upright freezer.
One of the advantages of having a self defrosting freezer is no need to manually clean up the ice build up. Another great thing about manually defrostation is frozen foods are not as prone to stick together. Sorry but "defrostation"?
No
It depends on what kind of refrigerator you own.
