Condensation forming on the bottom of freezer

Hi - I understand that you recently had something heavy drop on top of your Frigidaire Freezer door. From my experience the condensation does typically indicate poor door seal. When cold air and warm air outside is entering into the freezer it causes condensation. Try checking and see if the door seal is bad; place a dollar bill between the body of the freezer and close the door. The dollar bill should stay in place and pull out with a small amount of resistance. If the dollar bill falls out when placed between the gasket and cabinet double check to see if the door is being blocked by anything stopping it from closing it. If nothing is stopping the door from closing then I suggest contacting your manufacturer and see who they recommend to repair the unit. Hope this helps! JK

should be a small plastic tray funnelling from under the fins in back to a small hole n hose out the back of unit check owners manual if possible,..

are you sure its condensation and not water flowing over the top due to being unlevel, or pan cracked

This is normal. There is an electric, (mullion), heater behind that surface that keeps condensation from forming. It also keeps the freezer door gasket from freezing to the surface and ripping when the door is opened.

The lid is warped or the seal is bad and leaking air.
Determine which it is and replace the seal or the lid.

From what you describe it sounds as though the condensation heaters in the door frame are on perhaps too much. find the switch if there is one and turn it off to see if that stops the heating and if so, you may have a bad thermostat for the condensation heater.

Causes:

High humidity in the immediate area causing condensation to freeze at the door opening

A frozen defrost drain line not allowing water to drain off when the unit is in defrost

A bad door gasket causing an air leak

Some freezers have a heated perimeter to reduce condensation. If the stop working, moisture can accumulate arounf the door perimeter and freeze.

Leaving the door open too long or something obstructing the door

hi thanks for the question .yes you will have to live with it warm & humid climate especially in the garage .A fan close by could help thanks the appliance doc

Yes, to prevent condensation from forming.
