👉 Warm air enters → moisture freezes → frost appears.
2. ❄️ Blocked Airflow
Food items blocking vents
Overpacked freezer
👉 Cold air can’t circulate → uneven cooling → ice forms.
3. 🔄 Defrost System Failure
Modern fridges (like those from Samsung or LG) have an automatic defrost system.
If one part fails:
Defrost heater
Defrost thermostat
Timer/control board
👉 Ice keeps building up without melting.
4. 🌡️ Wrong Temperature Settings
Freezer too cold
Fridge imbalance
👉 Leads to excess frost formation.
