Well today I am taking advantage of the cold weather. Everything in the upright freezer is now in bags and wash baskets on the porch. I discovered something that I am not at all happy about. Water is dripping out of the door. This means that over the years condensation has built up in all of the insulation. Although the freezer is not continually running this will greatly reduce the efficiency. I told Karen to start using everything in it and not to put anything new. When empty, I will do as an old refrigeration repair friend told me. That is to leave the door open for two or three weeks. It will take that time for everything to dry. If it were a chest he would place a dehumidifier in it for a few days. When we had a chest freezer defrosting was much easier. I hooked one hose to the freezer drain and ran to a floor drain. Then using another hose hooked up to warm water proceeded to melt the ice. When finished there was no mess and the freezer was washed out. Sure wish that there was a drain on the bottom of the upright. --- Please visit my home page; it is motivational, inspirational and humorous with many resources for the blind. http://www.geocities.com/lenny_mchugh/ Lenny
