I seem to develop ice buildup in my converted chest freezer kegerator rather quickly, as compared to my exact same model chest freezer (for conditioning) albeit without a collar.
The kegerator has a 2x6' collar built on top, caulked on two separate occasions to ensure gaps were filled, then I put a cut to collar foam insulation strip around, caulked that and filled any large gaps with spray foam insulation.
The lid seats well on top of the collar. I do have a fan inside to push cold air to the tap box.
My conditioning fridge sits outside in the garage, same temp control. Living in florida, my expectation would be that this conditioning fridge in the garage would have much more frequent ice buildup. yet exactly the opposite happens.
What gives? Should I buy weather stripping for the lid?
