Frost this thick isn't just a cosmetic issue. When ice builds up around your refrigerator's back panel, it's usually a sign of a defrost system problem, a bad door seal, or blocked airflow. Left alone, that frost keeps spreading until your fridge can't hold temperature and your freezer turns into an ice cave. Towels on the floor might catch the meltwater, but they won't fix what's causing it. Common culprits behind heavy frost buildup: 🧊 Faulty defrost heater or timer 🚪 Worn door gaskets letting warm air in 🌡️ Blocked vents between the fridge and freezer sections Handy Hands handles Refrigerator Repair and Freezer Repair for all major brands, including out-of-warranty models, for homeowners around Broussard and the surrounding communities.
