Sub-Zero Condensation Dripping Inside Freezer
Condensation Dripping Inside Freezer is usually one of a small number of specific, repairable causes — here's what to check and when it's worth calling a professional.
Common Causes
A condensate path that cannot keep up
In this humidity a drain designed for a drier climate backs up, and the overflow gets reported as a leak from the unit itself.
A clogged defrost drain
Melted frost backs up and overflows into the cabinet or onto the floor instead of draining away normally.
A worn or torn door gasket
Lets humid air in that condenses inside the cabinet or around the door frame.
Local conditions that matter here
Humidity is the other constant. Door seals and condensate paths work harder here year-round, and a gasket that lives damp perishes rather than tears.
