- if this is the first year u have a problem ,and u charged the unit durring the winter,u might be low on refregerant.
- good luck

Check the evaporating temperature. Does the defrost is completed? Does the doors remain very time long open? Does the infiltration air is exterior from the exterior of the building? In the summer there is more water vapour content on the air (higher absolut humidity). Maybe you need an air curtain or something like that.Quote:

I agree with Sandro, humidity is going to be much lower in the winter.
Obviously check for any air gaps on doors, etc..
Also, i've always been told to have 4 defrosts a day, every 6 hours.
hey.did u check the door seals are not cracked,the right size for the door,does the door shut ok
In addition check fin spacing of evaporator may be small distance beetwin fins.
Or increase defrosting time...Quote:

I am a facilities manager for OSI Restaurants and most our refrigeration operates off of R-404. I had a walk in freezer do the same thing. Make sure the condensor fans on the roof are operating correctly
sorry misread your thread. Thought you were having ice build up on the evaporator. But ya sounds like an insulating problem to me

Also if you have the evaporators next to the acess door (mounted on that wall) that wouldn't help to prevent ice formation on the fin coils of the evaporator.
1) Shortage of refregerant
2) Txv not adjusted
3) Heater not working
