The seals on the door seem good to me and door has a nice tight suction.
It's well past warranty or anything like that.

Any ideas?

It is typical of a refrigerant leak in the sealed system, when it looses the refrigerant gas it. won’t cut in and out in the normal fashion it just runs continually and builds up a wall of ice on the evap. The leak is usually internal in the pipe work and cannot be repaired
