Ice forming underneath outside of fridgefreezer

Hi. I have a Hotpoint Fridge Freezer and compacted ice is forming underneath the appliance on the outside. The ice is slowly melting onto the floor. I have defrosted the fridge freezer and got rid of all the ice but when I plugged it back in, ice eventually formed again. Does anybody know why this is happening?

If I need to replace the appliance, does anybody know if a fridgefreezer or a separate undercounter fridge and undercounter freezer would be more energy efficient?
