This is not homebrew related, but I think you guys know a lot about fridges, so I thought I'd ask.
My home fridge is an over-under unit with the freezer on the top. I've noticed in the past couple weeks that the outside of the freezer is getting hot to the touch. I hit it with my IR thermometer and it's 120-130F depending on location. The sides, top, and seal area section between it and the fridge portion are all hot.
Now, I realize I freezer can get warm as it's cooling, but not anything near these temps. We re-arranged the freezer and got rid of a bunch of stuff and after a while it seems to be freezing better, but still hot on the outside.
Is the fridge on the way out the door?
