I just have a general question. I bought a used coldspot upright freezer, afew days ago. I seems to be working fine. But in the cleaning process we took the door off & I ran a water hose over it while cleaning. accidently - well I didnt know any better- the water got into the space between the 2 doors, and when I brought it into the house it dripped water for about 36 hours. This makes me believe there might be insulation between the 2 doors (duh! hey I dont know!) SO do you think I ruined it? caroleena - - I dont know the age of it

Well you did not do it any good.
Depends on what type of insulation is in the door.
If it is foam it should be OK though I would let it drain out for a day or two before turning the freezer back on. If water is in the wrong place then it could crack your door liner when it freezes.
If the insulation is fiberglass then I would replace the insulation. Once fiberglass gets wet it looses most of it's insulating value. |
