I think you should be concerned if the outside temp of the unit is 30F

above the room temp of say, 70F. This would make your freezer exterior

temp around 100F. My Kenmore gets so hot on the exterior that I cannot

touch it. It gets hot mainly on the end where the mechanism is, left as

you face the front of the freezer. I'm planning to find out if this is a

fire hazard and may return my unit. However, the meat on the inside seems

to be frozen solid. Jeff





The freezer does not really cool, but moves the heat out of the freezer to

the outside of it. If it is set for very cold, it will have to be hotter on

the outside. If you open the door alot to the freezer, it will have to do

more work to cool off the inside. It is doubtful, but air could be leaking

in around the door. You may want to check this out.



It will be hottest where the tube comes out of the compressor and as you

move away from the compressor the tube will be cooler, but still hot.
