Default Ice buliding inside Hairer

Hello,

Spent most of last night checking out your FAQ for my foaming problem which I think is because the Hairer Kegaroator isn't getting cold enough due to ice forming on the back wall where the refrigeration / cold air comes from. I poured a glass this morning and the temp came out at 48F which I attribute to the beer in the tower. I poured another beer immediatley and it came out a 41F. I was using a thermator designed to be dropped into a fish aquarium, so I think this would be pretty reliable.

So I have spent the last hour with a hair dryer de-icing the back wall so my new keg of Sam Adams will get colder for tonight's beverages. I usually de-ice the the fridge every second or third keg, but I was wondering if there was any solutions to prevent this icing? I also clean the beer lines after every keg with BLC. Will a box of baking powder in the fridge absorb moisture before it has a chance to freeze or is this a problem that can't be solved?

Thanks in advance,
Chris
