Ice forming only on the top or only on one side of the freezer interior, with other areas relatively frost-free.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before adjusting panels or seals.

• 1. Inspect gasket contact: Close the door on a strip of paper at multiple points around the perimeter, especially where frost is concentrated. If the paper slides out easily, the seal is poor there.
• 2. Adjust door alignment: Slightly loosen hinge screws and adjust the door position to improve gasket contact, then retighten.
• 3. Warm and reshape gasket: Use a hair dryer on low heat to gently warm and reshape deformed gasket sections, pressing them against the cabinet to improve sealing.
• 4. Check air channels: In no-frost models, ensure that air vents and channels behind the inner panel are not blocked by ice or food. Clear obstructions and perform a manual defrost if needed.
