I have a GE freezer/refrigerator unit and noticed last night that the freezer was hot to the touch around the outside but only around the freezer door. Can anyone tell me what may be happening? Is this unit likely beyond repair?

Don't delay looking into it! Procrastinating could lead to a more expensive repair
.
That is heat from the fridge's condenser. It is not functioning properly.[around the outside of] the freezer was hot to the touch
The condenser coil may be dirty and need to be *thoroughly* cleaned and/or the condenser fan motor may have failed and need to be replaced as described at the following link. Either should be corrected as soon as possible as those conditions put added strain on the compressor which could lead to premature failure and require expensive ($$$!) repairs.
See "The Condenser (hot part)".

If you supply the appliance's complete model number we can look up to see if the condenser motor is still available in case it is needed. You can find tips for locating the model and serial number identification tag on your appliances at the following link:
