circulating throughout system.
Freezer/refrigerator is not level. It rocks on
the floor when it is moved slightly.
Floor is uneven or weak.
Freezer/refrigerator is touching the wall.
Weather is hot and humid, which
increases internal rate of frost build-up.

Door is opened too frequently or kept open
too long.
