I have 7 year old Kenmore/Frigidaire top freezer refrigerator. It
been really hot lately, compressor runs about 90% of the time but
does maintain 35F in fresh food compartment as long as evaporator
is frost free. Problem is that evap coils keep frosting over and I
have to defrost these manually. I have replaced defrost timer and
checked the heater/thermostat
circuit(measures 33ohm )to be good. Is it possible that the
excessive on-duty cycle produces frost faster than system can
remove it? Have any experts seen an problem like this?

Turn the timer to defrost (with the unit running and cold) and check
the current draw. It should draw a few amps if the heater is getting
current.

Also check the door seal for leaks, and make sure the evaporator fan
isn't slowing down (tightening up).
