Hi Rex, the cold plate in the back of the ref defrosts every time the compressor shuts off, and when the compressor shuts off the CC is supposed to keep the compressor off till the cold plate warms up to about 36F to allow the ice to melt completely.
So you could have a bad CC, or the sealed system could be low on Freon or the compressor could be losing capacity.
Is the compressor still shutting off regularly ? What are the temperatures in the freezer and ref sections ?

I'll bet the freezer is super cold. Which means low freon or weak compressor. |
