Call GE. There should not be any frost in a relatively new freezer. Not on
the food, drawers, or anywhere else, and certainly not sufficient to cause
moving parts to stick. I think you're looking for the wrong solution to the
symptom.
That said, machinery exists in the Arctic that is adequately lubricated, so
such greases are bound to exist. Here, in South Texas, we cook tamales in
the freezing compartment, so I don't have any first-hand knowledge.
