Possible Causes
High room humidity, Door gasket not sealing, Door frequently opened, Warm air leaks around hinges or mullion heater failure (if equipped)
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Keep the area dry to prevent slips. No internal electrical work is usually needed.
Steps:
- Check gasket: Inspect the door gasket for gaps, tears, or hardened sections. Clean with mild soap and warm water.
- Adjust door: Ensure the door is properly aligned on its hinges and closes evenly. Adjust hinge screws if necessary.
- Reduce humidity: Use a dehumidifier in very humid rooms and avoid placing the freezer near open windows or vents.
- Limit door openings: Minimize frequent or prolonged door openings that introduce moist air.
Note: Light condensation in very humid conditions can be normal, but persistent moisture indicates a sealing issue.
