What it usually means when your Magic Chef freezer is frost build-up

What a technician checks on site
- Test defrost heater and termination device
- Check defrost thermostat, thermistor, or timer/board outputs
- Inspect lid or door gasket alignment and tears
- Verify evaporator fan runs after ice is cleared
