[Shop-talk] freezer freezing in wrong place

[Brian Kemp]

John - My first thought is a leaky seal - either because it is worn out 
or because the door wasn't all the way shut.  Warm moist air comes in 
and the moisture turns to the frost you are seeing.

After making sure nothing is keeping the door from shutting all the way, 
I'd take a piece of paper and close the door on the paper.  If it pulls 
out easily, that might indicate the seal is sealing.

Another option might be adjusting the hinges.  Perhaps someone pulls the 
fridge open from the top or hung on the door while open and shifted the 
hinge.

Good luck,

Brian
