Good day,
Refrigerators and freezers have heaters imbedded in them to prevent sweating.
Years ago, they used low wattage heaters to do this.
Now, to conserve energy, instead of electric heaters they use the the discharge line off of the compressor which gets hot, and run it throughout the perimeter of the box to save energy.
In cold weather, if the compressor runs very little this type of heating system could be ineffective. One posiibility.
The second is the insulation, inside the walls is breaking down. Same type of effect. This problem should be under the 5 year part of your warranty, but you'll have to check with the selling dealer.
Domestic machines are designed for interior applications. That is, in an area populated by people.
I.E. 70 to 95 degrees.
The only test I know of, is to move it inside, or wait for warmer weather.
A good selling dealer who hopes for future business from you, if contacted, may be willing to research this particular make and model, with their service dept. and advise you without having to pay for a service call.
