Excessive frost buildup on interior walls, shelves, and food packages.

Safety First: Unplug the freezer before adjusting hinges or replacing gaskets.

• Step 1 – Inspect gasket: Look for tears, gaps, or debris on the gasket. Clean with warm soapy water and dry thoroughly.
• Step 2 – Check door alignment: Ensure the door is level and square with the cabinet. Adjust hinges or leveling legs as needed so the door self-closes from a partially open position.
• Step 3 – Test seal: Close a strip of paper in the door at several points. If it pulls out easily, adjust hinges or replace the gasket.
• Step 4 – Usage habits: Minimize door openings and avoid leaving the door open for extended periods. Allow hot food to cool before placing it in the freezer.
