Ice where it doesn’t belong wastes energy and can damage fans and drawers. The causes are usually fixable with careful inspection. Common Causes Warm, humid air entering through a leaking door seal. Blocked defrost drains causing water to refreeze. Failed defrost heaters or sensors. Doors held open by overcrowded shelves or protruding items. What to Check Door seals for gaps; perform the paper test. The drain trough for clogs; flush with warm water if accessible. Evaporator fan area for frost blankets — a sign of failed defrost components. Preventive Steps Don’t overload the door bins. Keep items clear of fan inlets. Wipe spills quickly to prevent sticky gaskets.
