Hi Windstarlc2, it sounds like your door is out of adjustment.Here's a tutorial how to prevent frost & condensation build up in upright freezers and refrigerators:How to Reduce & Resolve Condensation Buildup in Refrigerators.Condensation occurs when moisture in ambient air touches the cold evaporator coils, shelves and interior sides of a refrigerator. (Think of a cold glass of water outside on a warm summer day)Steps you can take to reduce condensation build up:Move your hand around the outside of the refrigerator door. If you feel cold air, then the door is not sealing adequately. You can adjust the door by loosening the top hinge to reposition/adjust the refrigerator door to create a tight seal.Adjust the front levelling feet of your unit such that the front of the unit is slightly higher than the rear. Gravity will assist the door to close with a proper seal.TIP: Close the door on a dollar bill (or similar). The dollar bill should not easily pull out - there should be some resistance. Perform the “Dollar Bill Test” on the top, both sides, & bottom of your refrigerator door, and adjust accordingly.Do not over fill your refrigerator to prevent food items from shifting and impeding the refrigerator door from closing properly.Place only cool or cold food items in your refrigerator. Hot foods introduce humidity into the food storage compartment, which contributes to condensation build up. Allow hot foods to cool before placing them in the refrigerator.Wrap foods tightly with plastic wrap. Glass container lids typically do not provide a proper seal.Dry the exterior of food before storing. Reduce the amount of time the door remains open. Holding the door open allows humid ambient air to enter the refrigerator.Fruits and vegetables are typically high in moisture content and when left uncovered/unwrapped, will contribute to humidity in your refrigerator.Door Seal Care:Keep the door seal clean. You can clean your door seal with a solution of one tsp of baking soda to a quart of lukewarm water. Pour the solution onto a clean sponge, and wipe it over the seal. Sponge off the solution with clear water and dry the seal with a clean cloth before closing the freezer door.Keep the door seal flexible by lubricating it with some petroleum jelly (e.g. Vaseline). Wipe it on and wipe it off with a clean dry cloth.
Frozen
Just ice everywhere.will not defrost.
Hello Cool, we appreciate your feedback and would like to apologize for your recent experience with the Thomson Upright Freezer. We pride ourselves on our high quality standards and regret that our product did not live up to your expectations. This is a manual defrost unit - to defrost the freezer: Turn the unit off or unplug the unit Remove all frozen foods (place in insulated coolers or tote bins). Allow the ice to thaw. (DO NOT SCRAPE THE ICE WITH A SHARP OBJECT). Wipe up the water with old towels. Dry the interior. Return all frozen foods to the freezer. Turn the unit back on or plug back in. It sounds like your door is out of adjustment allowing humid air to enter the unit and condense where it freezes (and appears as frost). Here's a tutorial on how to resolve the issue: How to Reduce & Resolve Frost Buildup in Upright Freezers, Refrigerator and Freezer Compartments of Refrigerators. Frost occurs when moisture in ambient air touches the cold evaporator coils, metal shelves and interior sides of a freezer or refrigerator. Steps you can take to reduce frost build up: Move your hand around the outside of the freezer/refrigerator door. If you feel cold air, then the door is not sealing adequately. You can adjust the door by loosening the top hinge to reposition/adjust the freezer door to create a tight seal. Adjust the front levelling feet of your unit such that the front of the unit is slightly higher than the rear. Gravity will assist the door to close with a proper seal. TIP: Close the door on a dollar bill (or similar). The dollar bill should not easily pull out - there should be some resistance. Perform the “Dollar Bill Test” on the top, both sides, & bottom of your freezer door, and adjust accordingly. Do not over fill your freezer to prevent food items from shifting and preventing the freezer door from closing properly. Place only cool or cold food items in your refrigerator or freezer. Hot foods introduce humidity into the food storage compartment, which contributes to frost build up. Allow hot foods to cool before placing them in the refrigerator or freezer. Wrap foods tightly with plastic wrap. Butcher paper is not an adequate wrapping material. Glass container lids typically do not provide a proper seal. Dry the exterior of food before storing. By the time you reach home after purchasing frozen foods, the food items may have defrosted a bit and moisture may have already developed on packaging. Reduce the amount of time the door remains open. Labelling and organizing your foods so you can easily identify them will help shorten the number and duration of freezer trips. Set the freezer temperature so the freezers interior compartment stays around 0F (-18C), as higher and lower temperature settings contribute to frost build up. Door Seal Care: Keep the door seal clean. You can clean your door seal with a solution of one tsp of baking soda to a quart of lukewarm water. Pour the solution onto a clean sponge, and wipe it over the seal. Sponge off the solution with clear water and dry the seal with a clean cloth before closing the freezer door. Keep the door seal flexible by lubricating it with some petroleum jelly (e.g. Vaseline). Wipe it on and wipe it off with a clean dry cloth.
