Freezer runs but doesn't cool
 

I have a manual defrost upright freezer (Kenmore 564 29701991) that
doesn't cool. Probably my fault but I want to get an idea about whether
to try to repair or replace.
I hadn't defrosted it in quite a while and I know there was a good
frost buildup (and now a good lesson to me). Apparently it stopped
cooling. I noticed some water near it but it had been raining and I
thought I just had a little seepage. Well, the water got thick and you
can guess the rest.
Something is running. The coils feel a little cool but may be wishful
thinking on my part.
Is there anything I can look at and try to guess whether it is worth
repairing?
It is less than 6 years old. Thanks.

You lost the freon. Did you poke a hole in a coil when defrosting?

Only you can decide if its worth fixing. Call for estimates.

It defrosted itself...big skinky mess.
