Hi,

We are having issues with our freezer & ice cube maker area frosting over very heavily.  We have had a service call on the issue & they said we weren't closing the drawer properly.  We've made modifications to our drawer closing habits, but the issue continues with the heavy frost. 

The model we have is a counter-depth frig & we use a lot of ice.  Is this issue related to how often we open the drawer, the humidity levels in the home, the water feed temperature to the ice machine or something else?

The frost build up now is impacting the drawer opening & closing smoothly as well as the frozen food items are unrecognizable.

Suggestions?  Thank you - LH
