Is it possible your freezer's refrigerant pressure is too low? I haven't been through that with a freezer, but a few years ago my AC froze up a couple times and we had to get someone out to re-fill the system.

Yes that’s possible, if true that would mean scrapping the entire system. This weekend I’m going to install a new thermal relay on the defrost coil and see if that’s the issue as testing it is a bit too complicated (I need to get it to 22f). If that doesn’t fix the problem then I’m going to toss the fridge because compressor replacement isn’t cost effective and it’s a sealed system so I don’t think you can just top it off
