(from just a little to a lot enough to make a big paddle in the kitchen). It's 6 years old with auto defrost. A repair guy doesn't want to come back for this, so I am replacing the defrost thermostat..from just a guess. If you have any advice, I will applicate. - Lia

It melts in a few minutes when the power is off, but it buits up soon when the power is on....I this it is the cause!!! ...but I don't know why it has this much condensation? Other freezer is fine, no ice buit around the pipe...I wonder if the gas is too much or just the pipe need to be wraped?
