If the defrost sensor is open, the coils will frost up. A blocked drain will also cause this. The system is probably not low on refrigerant with that amp draw, but this is something you must see by looking at the frost pattern yourself after the unit has been running for 10 minutes on a clear evaporator. This ice maker had a loop of the coolant line running through it. If the customer was chipping away at the ice or removed the ice maker improperly, they may have also damaged that refrigerant line. If that is the case see the series of videos in the link below for additional help https://www.appliancevideo.com/appliances/samsung-rf263teaesr-refrigerator/
