From your limited description: Frosting almost always occurs because there is an air leak in the door, whether top loading or side loading. Warm air is getting in and "dropping out" on the evaporator (cold) coil. Find a way to seal your door better, or, if top loading, place a wet towel over it when it's closed. There's nothing wrong with your unit, it's working just fine, it's the leaks that cause it.
I agree with Stu. You may want to try getting some window/door insulation strips from the home improvement center or hardware store of your choice. Most of this stuff has a peel off glue strip that will allow you to seal the lid of your unit.
If you have a drain, you may want to consider putting a cork in it too.

I agree with the above, but it is easy to determine where you have an air leak. Close the lid on a dollar bill and gently pull it out. There should be a slight drag. If not, then you have found a place where air can leak in. You can check all around the lid this way in a few minutes.
