The seals are good an no one left the door open. It seems to be worse in warm weather. If someone has any suggestions it would be appreciated! This has a adaptive defrost heater. Does any know how to turn the defrost heater on? Thanks!

Take the freezer temperature and post. I would use a hair dryer to defrost the ice and look for a partially blocked vent or a blocked air return vent behind the crisper drawers.

I would recheck the door seal, it should compress slightly when closed.

I'm wondering maybe the ice chute door is sticking open! I've had 2 times in the last 6 yrs. where the inside door has frosted up top to bottom. Thanks for your help!
