Wayne.

I keep two thermometers in my fridge. One on the freezer side and
one on the milk side. A rubber band holds the thermometer to the
jar of olives so it is upright and easy to read, every time I open the
door.

About twice a year, I open the door and find the temp reading 48
degrees or so. I immediatetly drag a large box or ice chest into the
kitchen and dump the freezer contents into the box. Then remove the
shelves (6 screws). Then remove the back panel over the hidden coil
(6 screws). I grab the hair dryer and put it on high and start
melting the ice over the coils. About 25 minutes later the last of
the ice fall to bottom of the freezer and I put it all back together
and go another 6 months before someone crams too much stuff into the
freezer making the door fail to shut properly.

All good points, Jim. Thanks! This is a freezer only, and I don't think
it's a door problem, but the result is the same. I'll be thawing it out in a
day or so and it should be fine for another 6 months. I just wish I could
eliminate the problem.
