Upright & Chest Freezer - Sweats On The Exterior

It is possible that you may notice moisture condensing on the exterior case and door on your upright or chest freezer. This is typically a normal occurrence that does not indicate a need for repair service.

Observing Sweat on the Exterior of an Upright or Chest Freezer

Moisture forming on the outside of the cabinet (sometimes referred to as sweating) or excessive frost build-up inside an upright or chest freezer is not unusual during periods of high humidity or extended hot, humid weather. You can wipe the surface dry and use a good appliance polish to protect the finish.

You can also check to make sure you have the proper air clearances around the upright or chest freezer. Refer to the Installation Instructions for your specific model to determine the proper air clearance requirements.
