Try checking the freezer door seal.
if slight gap anywhere around the door seal drawer fronts will frost up.
warm seal up with hair dryer and ease seal out with your hands..
problem often happens with door reversal.

My freezer is on the bottom and it keeps building up frost. Any idea why? Just started about 2 weeks ago.

for frost to start appearing in a bottom freezer, indicates that the draw seal is not sealing properly or the draw is not closing fully
after 3 years it may need an adjustment of the rollers and slides to get the draw sealing better again
call in a service technician as it should be still under warranty

Frost and ice are building up on the right side of the freezer drawer, including the tracks. I can chip it away and get rid of it but it just comes right back. The air vents do not seem to be blocked.

Hello, Make sure there is no leak at the door gasket! This is the most common reason for this type of frost in the freezer on drawer and racks. Make sure the gasket is sitting flat and not damaged.

Hello:

Most likely your door is not closing properly.. The only moisture you can get inside( frost build up)is from outside. I suggest completely defrosting your freezer and examine door mechanism and make sure its closing/sealing properly..( make sure you check your door gasket for any warps or kinks)

Good luck

If the door has a gap, certainly ice build up will occur on the evaporators and block the air flow which will just accumulate more and more if you don't defrost it first. make sure the doors always shut.

this could be that your gaket may be sucking in air.check gasket dollar bill trick.put dollar half way in freezer and pull it out.if it pulls out easy your gasket isnt sealing.be sure to go all around the freezer gasket with the bill.

FRIDGE FREEZER BUT FRIDGE STOPPED WORKING FREEZER WORKING OK

look on the back wall of the freezer is there snow? if so you have a defrost component out (timer, limit, or heater) the fresh food compartment gets cool air from the freezer so check for blocked air pathways the build up of frost in the freezer stops air flow so you will be cold on freezer side and warm on ref side
