So, does it run all the time ?

Did you check the coils in the freezer for ice ?  Also, some units have a
fan that blows over those coils, make sure the fan runs and the air flow
isn't blocked (I once found a cardboard food wrapper caught in the fan).

After that, it's time for professional help.  However, if this is an
ordinary home refrigerator, a replacement may make more sense.  It's
difficult to get them sealed back up after adding gas, since most home units
don't have service ports and you have to use a saddle valve to tap into
them.
