Two likely candidates .
1) The freezer can sense it’s “losing cold” so it’s running the “Cold making parts” more consistently. Yes, that cold is “leaving”, but in the 1 square foot around the cold making parts, it’s extra cold because it’s generating more cold more quickly.
2) Moisture from your kitchen is entering the freezer from the gap. Cold air can’t hold as much moisture as warm air so as the air chills it drops it’s moisture which forms a layer of ice on the walls and food inside the freezer. Although this doesn’t really do anything to ‘extra freeze’ the food, it does make everything look a lot more deeply frozen because we just associate being encasing in ice = super dooper cold.
