Freezer has visible rust or moisture around the door frame or on exterior surfaces

Safety: Unplug the freezer before inspecting wiring for any mullion heaters.

Steps to reduce condensation and rust:

• Improve environment: Use a dehumidifier in very humid rooms and ensure good air circulation around the freezer.
• Inspect gasket: Replace a damaged door gasket to reduce moist air infiltration.
• Check mullion heater (if present): Some GE freezers have a small heater around the door frame. Access the wiring per the tech sheet and test for continuity. Replace the mullion heater if open.
• Clean rust: Lightly sand rust spots and treat with an appliance touch-up paint to prevent further corrosion.

Note: Some surface condensation is normal in very humid conditions, but persistent moisture indicates a sealing or heater issue.
