At about 25 cu. ft., the FFCL2542AW is a large-capacity chest freezer often used for bulk storage. Its lid is heavy, so hinge springs and lid gaskets see more wear over time. A lid that no longer stays open or seals evenly can let in humidity, causing frost at the rim.
Because a large freezer holds a lot of food, it is worth addressing warming issues quickly. Use a thermometer to track temperature and follow food-safety guidance based on readings and time.
