Really warm around freezer door?

Roper side by side, has been getting pretty warm around the freezer where the door moulding contacts it (freezer side of moulding, not door side of moulding). Any ideas?

Thanks for the advice. I took the fridge outside and hosed off the coils on the bottom (very dusty and dog hairy). Seems to work fine now.

Hello,

I use a vacuum with a crevice tool. You can brush first and then vacuum if you want. The heater is there to prevent moisture buildup on damp days.

How would I go about cleaning the coils? Dust them off with a rag, hose them off, vacuum cleaner, etc? And do you know why it gets hot up high at the front of the fridge if the condenser coils are at the bottom? Is there a heat exchanger in the wall between the fridge and freezer sections?

Hello,

You can try cleaning the condenser coils under the fridge. Dirty coils could cause the tubing inside the cabinet the be warmer than normal.
