Freezer coils continuously freeze up ; have tried to manually defrost with hair dryer but coils freeze over after several minutes. Is there a way to put the refrig/freezer into "self-defrost" mode ?
When the coils ar emanually thawed does the water get removed by the drain ho;le or are you having to soak it all up with a shop vac? The drain may be frozen up and that would cause the water to stay in the freezer and product ice.you said that the coils foreese over after several minutes does tha fan come on and start moving the air over the coils? theres a sensor that should be bringing on the fan and that should keep the coils from freezing up. On thae back side of the panel is there styrofoam on it ? if there is stryofoam is part of it missing and the air flow now incorrect? Just a few more things to lok at. Thanks For using FixYa and don't forget to rate this solution please.

After manually defrosting, the water does drain and the fan does come on to blow over coils. No styrofoam on back side of panel -- airflow is correct
The door seals corredtly/tightly; The outside (room) temp has been around 80-81 degrees and humidity near 60-70 %
Is there a way to put unit into defrost mode?
