Frost starts to form on the evap coils at the entrance to the coils only. After 3-5 minutes, the frost starts to melt while the compressor continues to run under full voltage (120VAC). However, the compressor current now drops to 0.5A.

You likely have a refrigeration system problem. It could be a partial restriction in the refrigeration system or possibly a compressor problem.
I doubt either repair would be cost effective for that age of refrigerator. I suggest you start shopping for a good deal on a new one.
