New fridge, Freezer icing up?

[JeremyCampbell]

Baught a brand new Fridge a month ago and the freezer has some ice starting to form on the freezer ceiling and the top of the freezer door.Is this something to be concerned about?

I'm wondering if I have it to jammed pack in there.Thanks

Took a few shots, best I could get them.

I'm thinking the seal on the door is not sealing up tight and you have an air intrusion. That looks like frozen condensation to me.

tough not to get some unless it's a real spendy freezer. in basement?

Mmmmmmm...extra meaty.... :drooling:

I agree with neighbor guy, looks like condensation. Throw a thermometer in there and see what it sits at. You should at least have some frost on some of that food as well, I don't think it is cold enough.

Just thinking about what it could be. Typically these freezer areas are self defrosting. If the stuff in there is somehow blocking the air from getting in to the freezer, maybe that is doing it. Or maybe something isn't quite right with the defrost cycle. The fact that it looks like liquid water that froze, rather than frost makes me wonder.

The leaking seal theory is also appealing.

The airflow part was blocked as the picture shows.I just moved some things around a few minutes ago to let the air flow better. I'll check to see if it goes away tomorrow. I noticed when I was taking food out that the back wall was icing up too.Thanks for the ideas guys

Back wall icing up may indicate a defrost problem. If that is what is happening, you should see the temperatures rising in the refrigerator compartment. It gets it's cold air from the freezer and the blockage will prevent that. All this could be from having too much food in the freezer and creating an air leak, or it might be a problem with the defrost. I'd take everything out of the freezer, pull off the back panel. If you have a solid block of frost behind the panel, shut off the refrigerator and run a fan to blow warm air on the coils until it is frost free. Then reload. If the problem comes back in a few days, you need to have someone look at it. That should be covered under the manufacturer's warranty.

Think your solid right cicada.The ice stopped forming after taking some food out.Just had the sucker too full.Thanks everyone.

My guess is that the food you put in wasn't frozen or had thawed partially. The moisture released as it cooled and refroze on the walls of the freezer. I see the same frozen droplets from time to time on my freezer. Put a temp gauge in there and see if the temp is constant.

My guess is that you should invite some of the fellas over for a bbq of Omaha steaks and extra meaty pork loins.

After chow and a few frosty beverages they'll either figure out what is wrong with your freezer...............or not.
