TGF-13F ice cream freezer frosts up heavily in a week?

This freezer seems to gather large amounts of frost along the uppermost left and right sides and back. I have no owners manual and have no clue what is wrong. I have manually defrosted it and the ice buildup came back within a week, I'm no freezer technician so I have no clue but my best guess is a component failure since it should take longer to frost up that badly it seems.. Any ideas? thanks.
I have worked on refridgeration units for years.It sounds like the gasket is not sealing in the areas that are frosting up.Open the dor and using a hair dryer heat the gasket enough to make it a little more flexable and with your fingers hold it in a expanded position untio it cools. then close the door on a dollar bill and attempt to slide it with a little pressure on the dollar.The dollar should have resistance on it from the gasket making contact with the freezer. if you have resistance try it in the other spots .If it has very little resistance attempt heating the gasket again it .If that does not fix it the gasket it may either be that the gasket is shot or the door is warped.

It seems like its low on coolant. That would be my best guess.
