Could be evap flow not sufficient causing liquid refrigerant to stop boiling off before coming back to comp.

Do you mean ice ON the valve or ice IN the valve

At minus 10C I would expect ice/frost to form ON the valve....this is normal and doesn't need fixing.

water freezes below 0c. there is moisture (water) in the air, around the pipe. you stated its at -10c, so the moisture in the air is freezing onto the outside of the cold components.

am i missing something??

no but the op is, pipe lagging!

It doesn't sound like a serious issue. It happens quite normally at my place. Anyways, it is ideal that you get it checked at a refrigerator repair service center to be on the safe side!
