Should I buy a chest freezer?

Chest freezer most frequent questions

One of the advantages of a chest freezer is that it is more energy-efficient because it opens from the top, allowing cold air to stay inside and not come out. Besides, chest freezers are cheaper than upright freezers. They are especially beneficial for people who store or buy large and bulky food items.

These are some of the most frequently asked questions about chest freezers to help you decide:

Why is my chest freezer leaking water onto the floor?

This normally happens when the drip pan that collects water from the drain hose becomes full of water. The drip pan is at the bottom of the freezer. So, it is recommended to empty the pan whenever the freezer defrosts. This is a regular maintenance task.

Why does the outside of the freezer feel hot?

This happens because the chest freezers have the condenser wrapped around the outside of the case. Actually, the white surface acts as the condenser to remove heat from the inside.

Why is my freezer wet on the outside?

This condensation might be caused by opening the door too frequently, or by old damaged seals around the door that are leaking cold air. You should also check that the temperature is not set extremely cold.

Why is my deep freezer not freezing?

The most common cause for this condition is a problem with the defrosting system, as the defrost heater normally turns on several times a day to melt away any accumulated frost on the freezer evaporator coils. If this system is defective, frost will continue to build up and cover the coils.
