Built-in Hotpoint freezer causing condensation or mold in surrounding cabinetry

Safety first: If you need to pull out a built-in freezer, get help to avoid tipping or injury.

Steps:

• Check vents: Ensure top and bottom ventilation grilles are clear of obstructions and dust.
• Verify installation: Compare the cabinet dimensions and venting to the Hotpoint installation instructions. Adjust trim or cut-outs if necessary.
• Seal gaps: Seal large gaps where warm, moist air can enter the cabinet space using appropriate trim or foam strips.
• Dehumidify: Use a dehumidifier temporarily to dry out the surrounding area after correcting ventilation.
