does the gasket look in good nick !!! has the door dropped!!! try pushing the door firmly for a few seconds

if theres air in getting in there will be a trail of frost at that point inside where the air enters it will almost look like its been snowing

i know all this because thats what my 10 year old freezer is like so i just push the door firmly till the suction holds the door then its ok

where air does get in the metal heats up quite drasticly [warm to the touch]
 
Next time soon after defrosting place palm of hand on evaporator(cold bit),palm should want to stick. If frost melts easily possibly poor pumping compressor, which throws a thick frost very quickly-expensive repair on an old unit.
