Small Whirlpool top-freezers of this generation are mechanically simple, which makes diagnosis quick: a thermostat, a defrost timer, a fan and a compressor. Continuous running with a very cold cabinet usually means the thermostat is not opening.
Owners can safely clean the seal, check the freezer floor drain is clear and give the condenser a vacuum. Anything involving the thermostat, the timer or refrigerant is technician work, and on a cabinet this age it is worth agreeing the cost before the parts are ordered.
