The other day I opened the freezer door and noticed a dripping sound, followed by a fizzing sound. Basically it sounded like some condensation was dripping on a hot surface, like water drops on a stovetop. Here's a video I took as soon as I saw it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=96QIrm6SpjM As you can see in the video, looks like something failed (look at the burnt zip-tie) and overheated. I haven't noticed the issue since, everything seems to be working normally. Can you give me your opinion on what could be happening and the recommended steps to repair it? TIA!
