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
the ice is coming form the air outside coming in, cooling down inside the fridge, and water vapor in the air condenses out onto surfaces and freezes.
Your freezer is less efficient in like this as the ice effectively *insulates* the rest of the freezer, so overall its warmer than it “should” be.
