[Shop-talk] freezer freezing in wrong place

[old dirtbeard]

I am no expert, but usually ice would indicate poor sealing and moist external air getting in and freezing.

Perhaps try wiping some silicone grease on the seal and then inspect the surface to determine the contract pattern?

If it takes a strong pull to open the door, though, that would seem a good seal as you already discussed.

Best,

I have a Kenmore upright freezer (13 or 14 c.f.) that has started frosting up and making ice on the inside of the door …. inside the door seal. It’s basically across the left side inside roof if the freezer and on the door in the same area… and down the open side of the door.

The seal looks good and it takes a little effort to open the door so I think it’s sealing properly, but maybe not

Before I start throwing parts at it… looking for probable causes.



TIA

JOHN
