Basically the title: If I leave the freezer door slightly open it seems to be “more frozen” than before – big chunks of ice on everything, stuff frozen together. Why is that? The food can go bad in this state but it LOOKS colder (I know this is stupid). In my mind it should just melt and warm up 🤷🏻♀️
In: Physics
There are 2 parts to this:
1. You let in moisture by leaving the door open, which then freezes to everything, giving the appearance of being colder
2. more uneven temps. With the door open, the cooling elements will work constantly, meaning the first things they reach will be kept colder, while the stuff near the opening will likely be somewhat warmer.
