Is the door sealing tight all the way around? Slide a dollar bill between the gasket in several spots and try to pull it out. There should be pretty good drag. If it is real loose you may need a new door gasket. Or maybe the evaporator is just starting to freeze up. When is the last time you vacumed the condenser coils?

I usually vacum it out once a year when I defrost it and I vacumed it earllierthis year because I started having problems about a month ago. I tried the dollar bill and it seems like I have resistance all the way around. The only other thing I noticed is when I used to close the door it kind of like vacumed shut but it doesn't do that anymore.
