Ice Buildup Forming Inside Freezer
Question
Ice buildup is forming inside freezer. What is wrong?
Answer
Usually inevitable whenever freezer door is left ajar or not closed properly allowing moisture from outside to seep through.
Such occurrence is bound to result in accumulation of frost buildup. If refrigerator and freezer operate well, no need to be alarmed.
Simply properly adjust packages or containers inside so the door can close accordingly.

Rearrangement of items in compartment
Avoid overloading any compartment/section of the refrigerator or freezer as too much food will block the air vents and cause frost to build-up inside.
Other troubleshooting tips
Inspect the gasket around the door for any tear or deflated area. Try to squeeze it back into form.
If the freezer is a bottom drawer, pull it out and look behind whether an item might have fallen over. If so, replace it in the compartment.
