I can manually defrost with a hair dryer but after about 3 days it starts to freeze over again.

Is the evaporator (cooling) coil
completely and uniformly frosted across its *whole* surface or just on part of it?

the coil in the freezer is freezing over so bad that no air can pull through it to go through the damper. What is the first thing I should look for?

If it was frosting uniformly across the whole evaporator coil, a problem with the defrost system is a possible cause. In that case testing the defrost heater would likely be a start as described at the following link. Unfortunately, on that model the rest of the defrost system will be difficult to check being one of GE's electronically controlled designs.

BTW. Totally frosting up in only 3 days would be pretty quick for a fully and completely defrosted fridge even with a defrost system problem. You might want to look into the doors not closing properly or being left open allowing too much warm air into the appliance. That's the only was I can see it totally frosting up in only that length of time.
