Frost-free uprights defrost on a timed or adaptive cycle, so a thin even coating is normal while heavy localised frost is not. On this model, frost concentrated at the rear points at the defrost heater, thermostat or control rather than at the sealed system.
Owners can safely confirm the ambient range in the owner manual, keep a hand-width of clearance at the back for airflow, and use a thermometer to verify the interior is at or below 0°F. Work behind the rear panel begins with the freezer unplugged and is technician work.
