What it usually means when your LG freezer is frost build-up
Heavy frost on the evaporator cover or gasket corners usually means defrost did not finish, a seal leak let humid air in, or the fan could not move air past ice.
What a technician checks on site
- Test defrost heater and termination device
- Check defrost thermostat, thermistor, or timer/board outputs
- Inspect lid or door gasket alignment and tears
- Verify evaporator fan runs after ice is cleared
