You may notice that the outside of your fridge feels warm. This is caused by the heat dissipated from the refrigeration process and is normal. If your fridge feels warmer than it should, it may be the spacing between your fridge and it’s surroundings.Click to see full answer. Likewise, what does it mean if the outside of the freezer is hot?The outside cabinet area has the heat transfer lines running through it which causes it to be hot. The longer your freezer runs the warmer the outside of the cabinet will get. This could be as much as 30 degrees hotter than the actual room temperature which is normal.One may also ask, should my fridge freezer compressor be hot? If your refrigerator is working properly, it should be cold inside and there should be warmth behind or underneath it. The warmth is coming from the compressor, and it’s normal. However, the warmth shouldn’t be excessive. Also asked, why is my fridge cold on the outside? When a refrigerator sweats on the outside, it is not actually sweating, but rather producing condensation. When cold air meets warm air, it draws the moisture out into physical droplets referred to as condensation.Should the back of my fridge freezer be hot?The condenser coils should be warm/hot as this is where the refrigerant condenses back from a gas to a liquid (releasing absorbed heat from the fridge / freezer cabinets) before going back into the compressor, to start the cycle again.
