Door Frame Heater Operation or Heat Transfer
Interior surfaces feel unusually hot or warm to the touch near the door frame.

Possible Causes
Normal anti-condensation heater operation, Condenser tubing routed around door frame, Restricted airflow around cabinet
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Typically normal but should be evaluated if excessive.
- Check ambient temperature: In warm rooms, the door frame may feel warmer as heat is rejected from the condenser loop.
- Ensure ventilation: Provide adequate clearance around the cooler so heat can dissipate.
- Monitor temperature: If the frame is too hot to touch comfortably, unplug the unit and inspect for blocked condenser coils or fan failure. Clean coils and verify the condenser fan motor is operating.
