There is a Mullion heater designed for that Kolpak that's actually installed inside the inside face on the door jamb. Kolpak may be willing to give you pointers but its best to let your refrigeration tech check it out. If its shorted you might be grabbing a door with 115 volts on it. Usually water from melted ice gets inside there and causes the heater to fail and short to ground. Hope this helps and good luck.
Is the compressor cycling on and off? Is there any oil around fittings at components? Gas is the last thing you put in a refrigeration system. You need to find the leak before you put any more gas in the system. Hope this helps good luck.
My name is Peter. I am a retired field service refrigeration technician.
in answer to your question, Asbestos was never used in refrigerators. The best insulator is air with the lowest heat transfer coefficient. This is why your hot water tank has a double tube.
The foam coming out was not asbestos. It was just build up from years passed, Shell coatings or a leakage in your weep hole.
I serviced a 30 year old refrigerator. There was no asbestos.
I have torn liners out of units 20 years old for repair. There was no asbestos.
What manufacturers use as a liner is open cell sponge rubber. Please do not worry. You are fine.
You might want to check the bottom of the door and see if its dragging and make adjustments if it is. Also there are plastic cams at the door hinge pin area that are supposed to help the door close. They get worn and may need to be replaced. You can lift the door off of the hinge pins and inspect them. hope this helps and good luck.
That tells me that when the evaporator defrost the water condensate is not draining to the outside of your freezer. You will need to find the drain blockage, Thanks Sea Breeze
