Why is the outside of my freezer hot?
In: Engineering
Do you have adequate airflow/air space _around_ the freezer? The other comment from u/William_Harzia is accurate— the whole point of a freezer is to remove heat from the inside and transport it to the room the freezer is in — but you gotta have sufficient room for that heat to dissipate once it’s outside the freezer.
Your freezer is a heat pump. It pumps heat from the inside of the fridge (to keep it cold) to the outside (where you can feel it).
Becuase it is taking all the heat inside and putting it on the outside, but if things are covering it/too close to it so that heat can’t spread out it’ll make the freezer not work as weel
