Freezer frost buildup on food and shelves; snow-like frost especially near door.

Safety first: No electrical work is required. Use caution when removing heavy frozen items.

Step 1 – Check door closure:

• Ensure the freezer door or drawer closes fully and evenly.
• Look for items blocking closure, such as tall packages.

Step 2 – Inspect gasket:

• Check for tears, gaps, or hardened sections.
• Use a hair dryer on low to gently warm and reshape minor gasket distortions.
• Replace the freezer door gasket if damaged.

Step 3 – Defrost and clean:

• Remove excess frost manually by unplugging the unit and allowing it to defrost.
• Dry interior surfaces before restarting.

When to call a technician: If the door is misaligned due to hinge or rail issues, professional adjustment or part replacement may be needed.
