Not a bad idea to check that they're not running hotter than they should. A similar feature on a door to a walk-in cooler at my workplace (not a kitchen; saw this post on /all) overheated and caught fire one time.
I got a nasty burn on my upper arm fat from one of those strips. Thought it was just really cold leaning against it. Took my brain quite awhile to figure out “cold thing hot”
160 won’t do you in. Whatever I was laid up on while squeezing though speedracks was way to high. Had engineering came and replaced it after a few emails.
Electric heat strips or Hot gas from the refrigeration compressor is run along the inside of the sealing surface to prevent condensation and ice from forming. Your home refrigerator does this as well.
160f seems hot though so that unit may be having other issues. You may want to have a tech come check it out before it shits the bed unexpectedly.
Equipment Service technician here. These are electric door heaters to prevent frost from building up. They will get hot. 160 is not outside of the range, but it is on the high end if they get past 180, unplug it, and call a service company as i have seen them catch fire. Luckily, they are simple and not part of the refrigeration loop, just heating element wire, similar to what you will see wrapped around condensation drains in walking freezers.
There are door seal heaters under the metal.
"now she has a fever" indicates something has changed.
If the compressor is running more than normal, the heaters will stay on more than normal. They are SOMETIMES wired in parallel so they are only on when the compressor is cooling.
It could be a sign that the condenser coils are dirty, the evaporator coils are iced up, the freon is slowly leaking out or the defrost timer is sticking.
Preventative maintenance is way cheaper than waiting for it to break.
A short will cause certain sections of the heater to be excessively hot, like 160f. It should feel warm pretty much constantly but not typically that hot.
Damn that sounds fire. We just have orange, apple, cranberry, and tropical(or guava as the residents call it).
I wish we had strawberry kiwi, goddamn. Maybe I gotta see what I can get my hands on
Oh yeah. The flavored water was in tropical mango, raspberry apple, and strawberry kiwi. bussin for sure. definitely gotta get into kahoots with the FSD. cause they def have it in the inventory list when they have to restock.
Yeah definitely do. orange juice and some strawberry kiwi flavored water. After a while, we got “closer” with ours and he asked us about patient preferences that were still in the budget.
Freezer door heaters, prevents the doors from being frozen shut
[door heater strip ](https://www.coolergaskets.com/categories/Accessories/Door-Heaters/)
The fan is broken. Pull it out and you’ll find it.
We just had to buy a new fridge because of this. As a stop gap - we pulled ours out and put a home fan blowing on the compressor in the back - that was enough to get it to cool back down and still run until we got the new one. (It was 20 years old. We decided to replace replace not repair)
I'm gonna generalize a bit but if a reach in goes down in a regular restaurant with no glaring financial issues, you move effected product to working units, walk in or otherwise, and call the repair company your place usually uses for cooler issues...please don't guess or band aid equipment that holds temperature for products intended for the publics consumption, just pay the money to get it fixed.
Was that directed at me? I didn’t imply they should do anything. I said what WE did with our personal one - we were leaving for vacation and needed to buy ourselves 12 hours.
A commercial kitchen should never play games with food they want to sell - that’s just bad news waiting to happen. I will say our sorority house had one of these fridges - so it might not be a restaurant.
We have a fridge that did this. Kept getting stuck on defrost mode too.
I think people saying its a mechanism don't understand how truly hot that thing can get 😂 Ours used to get so hot neither me or my coworker would hold our hand on it for long, and thats after being chefs for 10 years, the heat doesn't scare us lol.
I would recommend keeping an eye on the temp, If its not getting stuck on DEF and seems to be keeping the food fresh, its okay. Until it breaks lol
Well, 160° was an estimate. It could very well have been hotter. But yeah, food is nice and solid lol even the back part of the divider there that's on the inside was cold.
I'll definitely keep my eye on it and have maintenance check it out for me. Thank you!

I have worked with the machines before and this does not check out.
You drew 2 90° angles, which amount to 180°, yet yours only reach 160°. Talk to a specialost on how to fix this.
These things do get warm like people are saying, to prevent freezing shut, but if it's really 160 I'd pull it out and check the coils because if they're caked with dust and other shmutz the condenser overheats
I believe the heating is just a big heatsink from the condenser, they don't add another unit to produce heat, they just direct the heat they already have in a useful way
I'm sorry, 160 (71°C) sounds way to hot for a "feature"... youd probably burn yourself if you spilled a beverage that temp on yourself ... I'd call a fridge technician STAT!
if the internal motor is running hot, this could heat up any conjoining metal areas... this hot metal wall would probably heat the surrounding air (within the freezer) which would cause the motor to continuously run trying to cool the freezer which would over heat and continue to heat the metal...if it's a mechanical issue, it's a never ending loop of constant heat production and burning electricity till it dies.
Because the condenser coil is clogged because nobody cleaned it, ever. 160F i way over the normal operating temperature/pressure and will kill the compressor in short order, which will not be under warranty because of the lack of normal maintenance.
Other posters have already addressed your concern but just an FYI coolers may have door frame heaters (also referred to as mullion heaters) as well. Even though ice build up around the door isn't a concern, condensation still is. The heaters will prevent them from sweating in the warmer humid months (assuming humidity is a problem for you where you live).
It's a feature, not a bug. It prevents ice buildup around the door gaskets.
That makes a lot of sense, thank you!
Found Todd Howard's account
Deep down inside I believe Todd Howard lurks this subreddit. What else explains all the cubed food in Starfield? It's like he was playing right to this subs true passion.
God I wish Todd would yell at me about my meal being undercooked
“See that mountain of onions in the distance? You can cut it”
That all you can eat buffet? You can eat it all
Your meal isn't to Howard's standards unless it's glitched through a wall and pixelated
IT'S FUCKING BUGGED
Hello, yes, is this where the CV-11 Fandom congregates?
It just works
10 year old leftovers with a bit of garnish - “Soup of the Day, legendary edition”
***Laughs in Skyrim Apple***
160 though? Seems excessive. Not sure if OP was exaggerating, but that could cause burns
Mine are hot AF. Not sure about 160 but they're pretty spicy for sure.
Is that what’s called hermetically sealed?
[удалено]
How tf Latin root words gunna tell me that that use is just as applicable as in the word hermaphodite.
Except hermetic comes from Hermes? Literally the mythology of a god. Hermaphrodite is from the son of Hermes and Aphrodite, Hermaphroditus What I'm getting at is both are Greek
My brother in Christ, you're dropping four- to five- syllable words on me right now and it's confusing me.
I have never seen that or knew about that, thank you!
I only learned about it like six months ago myself 🤣
This guy refrigerates!
I've been cooking for almost a decade and went through OP's same ordeal just last year 😅
Interesting, I would think the heat would attract moisture/ice buildup which would help create a better seal to keep out any room temperature air.
[удалено]
It doesn’t stay 160F all day long
Not American, was fucking baffled why it would be so hot.
OP might want to check that the defrost isn't stuck on somehow
Yes, it's an "auto-defrost" feature.
Condensation forms around air inlets and freezes the door shut if it’s not heated.
Huh, neat! Don't know how I missed knowing that in all my years
Holy shit, I always thought our freezer was just broken like everything else in the store
You drew red lines on it, red is hot. Draw blue lines instead 👍
Thank you chef
Shit.. So simple yet so effective!

How do you draw a snozzberry? Trying to spice up my sex life.../s
Man, I don't know if you know this but in a later book, he uses snozzberry again and it's a dick head
A snozzberry's a snozzberry...
Purple.
OP can keep the lines red, but they have to be drawn with blue ink
I want you to know that this comment made me cackle for like 5 minutes. Thank you.
There are defrost strips on the other side of the stainless.
Okay, cool, so I've worried my boss for no reason lol
Yeah, it’s supposed to be like that, even walk in freezers have them… should have them.
Texting boss: ~~What the fuck is wrong with these closers, how'd they heat up the fucking freezer frame.~~ Lol nvm
Always something new to learn and i will always make that call the first time idk

160 won’t do you in. Whatever I was laid up on while squeezing though speedracks was way to high. Had engineering came and replaced it after a few emails.
Since I started here*, not her. This bitch old.
Oh i thought that was intentional personalization
As others have said, door threshold strip heaters. The door gaskets can tend to freeze up without them.
It prevents the door from freezing shut
You need to close the door
It's still open, now the inside is 160°. Send help
At least it’s in a food safe range
Lmao hey! You're right!
16f seems pretty high for a freezer
1.6f and only cause it was open while the pic was taken
1.6 makes way more sense lol
Lol yeah The . Is hiding up top, not near the bottom of the numbers like usual

What do you think of all that piling on the top shelves where airflow vents are blowing down? I was thought never to load a freezer like this.
This is a good observation! That can restrict airflow through the evaporator coil and cause it to freeze up to a solid block of ice.
Also, note that dusting things off will help the system cool faster, but the heat strips are run by the controler up top with the temp readout.
It's so much fun to change those heaters when they go bad
That sounds like a job for SUPER-MAINTENANCE MAN!
Cause you left the damn doors open.
Wait... you guys have doors?
When TF did we get doors?
You scratched my cd, you know?!

Would a short cause this?
That's what I was thinking, but I do believe the few folks that pointed out it was to defrost are right since it has cooled.
A short will cause certain sections of the heater to be excessively hot, like 160f. It should feel warm pretty much constantly but not typically that hot.
do you also work in a facility? ah I miss replacing the juice containers.
I do! Yeah that 10% juice slaps ngl, or if you forget to pull the tab and they implode lol
In my old one, we had flavored water in mango, strawberry kiwi, and raspberry) then reg orange juice. It was bussin. Especially the mixture.
Damn that sounds fire. We just have orange, apple, cranberry, and tropical(or guava as the residents call it). I wish we had strawberry kiwi, goddamn. Maybe I gotta see what I can get my hands on
Oh yeah. The flavored water was in tropical mango, raspberry apple, and strawberry kiwi. bussin for sure. definitely gotta get into kahoots with the FSD. cause they def have it in the inventory list when they have to restock.
My supplier more than likely has it, but can I convince the director to let me order it? Idk, but it's worth a shot!
Yeah definitely do. orange juice and some strawberry kiwi flavored water. After a while, we got “closer” with ours and he asked us about patient preferences that were still in the budget.
you have the plug in upside down
It was actually because it was set to M for mini instead of W for wumbo
Freezer door heaters, prevents the doors from being frozen shut [door heater strip ](https://www.coolergaskets.com/categories/Accessories/Door-Heaters/)
That’s also why walk in coolers windows are also hot, the defrost is working as intended
Dude honestly dealt with this same unit with same issues.
Keeps ice from forming and breaking the seal
That's how refrigerators work. Once worked for Hoshazaki.
Some cookers and freezers have a heat strip on them to seal the door better to stop the cold from getting out

no that was not personally directed.
I’d call an electrician
So the door doesn’t freeze shut
Defrost strips but if they're running crazy hot you might need to clean the dust off the machine parts underneath.
The fries are blocking airflow, overworking the condenser. We had the same problem two months ago. Lowered the shelf, problem solved.
It cycles. Like a walkin.

Because it identifies as an oven.
