So I have a small 5 cu ft freezer that I just built into a keezer buy building a collar for it. I built the collar out of 2x6 wood. I sealed it to the top using kitchen caulk on the bottom of the wood and both the inside and outside. I also have a fan running to circulate the air. I have noticed that the freezer runs a little more and gets hot... is the collar too big for the freezer? I have the freezer sitting in my garage and it has been rather hot lately (85+), could this be adding to the stress of the fridge operations? It is open on the back to allow ventilation. The freezer is also less than a year old, bought new from Lowe's. It is controlled by an STC1000 and just sits on the floor (I want to add casters soon). Should I be worried about putting it in an early grave?
