EH-family chest freezers are simple and long-lived, which is why so many are still working. When one does fail, the temperature control and the start components are the usual candidates rather than the compressor itself.
Frost building far faster than it used to normally means the lid seal has hardened or the lid is being left ajar by a basket. Owners can check both and defrost the cabinet; electrical testing on the control or the compressor relay is for a technician.
