Default vissani Question (problem)

maybe someone can help me.

i built the vissani into a bar on my basement last december.
the kegerator worked great from dec until may i guess. thats when i finished the keg and waited until october to put in another keg.
the problem is:
when i took the keg out in october i noticed the back of the fridge was iced up.
now with the new keg in there i check it often, and it is freezing up. it 1st gets the snowy ice on it, then it ices up. what can i do to stop this?

i lower the control to 3. and unplug the fan (pc fan) and it is still happening.

check your door seal. i ordered a new one from the magic chef dudes, but still, i tape my door shut. the door just doesn't seal well, and i had the same problem before i started making a tighter seal. now, i have no problemo. there are major leaks around the top edge of the door and the sides. i only found mine because the PC fan i put in has a blue LED light, and the light shines brightly where there is a crack. put a flashlight or something in it, and i betcha you'll find your cracks.

This is a link to many threads about using a lamp timer to reduce ice on the cooling plate.http://www.micromatic.com/forum/us-e...earchid=175903
