The front surface of the Kenmore chest freezer (5 cu feet) is "very hot" and the sides of it are OK. I wonder if it is safe to use and if there's any way to resolve the problem. please advise.
Hi, can you put your hands on front of freezer, and check from 1 to 5 without getting burn? how long can you keep your hands on front of freezer? check from 1 to 20 and let me know, normally there's a condensate line, or part of condenser lines that passes through freezer body , purpose of those condensate line is to prevent your door gasket from freezing , especially during winter. It's normal for front of freezer to be warmed, on hot days it will be a little hotter, you said "very hot" makes me wonder how hot it is, put your hands on front of freezer, use number method and let me know, but it's normal. good luck.
Testimonial: "Thanks for your useful advice."
Hi, that temperature (7) is o/k, (5) would of be a little to hot, plug/connect your freezer, let it work/run for an hour, before you put/pack your produce, temperature of front of freezer, will drop , longer it work/run. that's normal, that's the way it's design. so enjoy your freezer and plug em up. Good luck.

thanks for the useful reply. Let say 1 is cool and 10 is getting burn. I would say that the front surface of my freezer is about 7 and the sides of it is about 2. I have to add that I just got this freezer yesterday and I tested it for 5-10 minutes. Then, I found that the front surface is "getting hot" and I therefore unplug it immediately. I am not sure if it is normal or the heat would die down with time. Please advise again. Thanks.
