Excessive frost build‑up on food packages and interior walls, especially near the door.

Safety: No electrical work is required for basic checks, but unplug the freezer if adjusting hinges or removing the door.

Steps to reduce excessive frost:

• 1. Inspect gasket: Examine the door gasket all around for tears, gaps, or areas not contacting the cabinet.
• 2. Paper test: Close the door on a strip of paper at various points. If the paper pulls out easily, the seal is weak there.
• 3. Clean and soften: Clean the gasket with warm soapy water. Slightly warming and gently reshaping warped sections can improve sealing.
• 4. Adjust hinges: If the door is sagging, adjust the door hinges to raise or realign it so it closes squarely.
• 5. Replace gasket: If the seal is damaged or permanently deformed, install a new New World door gasket specific to your model.

Tip: Minimize door openings and avoid leaving the door ajar during loading to reduce moisture ingress.
