Default GE refrigerator condensing

I have a GE TBF-16D, freezer on top. Inside everything is normal (dry and
cold) but outside there is condensation, but only around the freezer area.
The condensation is on the top of the freezer near the front (not on the
door, but on the main cabinet), and then also forms down the front facing
edge along the length of the freezer door's opening, also right on the main
cabinet.

Switch is set to "humid". This is in a basement, but, not an especially
damp basement. Is cold air escaping past the door seals? Wouldn't that
also cause condensation inside?

Thanks for your help!
Brian

Hi,

TBF-16D


That is part of the full model#.

Sweating could be the heater that the switch turns on is burnt out,
air leak around door gasket or possible void in the insulation.
