Hey Guys, hopefully I can get point in the right direction or else I might be forced to get rid of this unit.
I am getting a major amount of condensation on the exterior of my fridge to the point its soaking my carpet.
at first I thought it was just the door seals but after installing a new door seal on the middle door and leaving it "break in" it's still sweating around all 3 doors like crazy.
Also it sweating a crazy amount from the underneath . I had the fridge set up on 4 planks to lift it off the ground to let the floor breath hoping it would help with any kind of condensation but it seems to not have helped or do anything.
I tilted the fridge back and pretty well the whole middle section of the underside was wet and dripping.
I had previously last summer sprayed expanding foam inside the flooring (too much) as it had holes and ended up with water build up inside which I dried out as much as I could then sprayed the foam and sealed with JB weld. so it should of taken up any open "void" so it shouldn't have any insulation issues in the floor... unless I should go back drill a few small holes through out and fill with non expanding foam to make sure its fully insulated. ( i seal the holes with JB weld after) I know its not pretty but this unit is already in fairly rough shape cosmetically .
The only thing I can think off is that its lacking insulation in the floor...
The unit ONLY sweats in the summer.. it never seems to have much condensation or any in the winter.
House temp usually sits around 68-75F unit is in the basement so its always a little colder there.
Other then creating a drip pan of some sort under it I am at a loss of what I can do. I dont care for ruining the carpet as im tearing it out soon but once my floating floor goes in this will have to be fixed or arranged so that water wont damage the floor
