Default Maytag MTB 2156GEW Ice build up?
Hi. I have a Maytag top freezer and notice that ice/frozen snow like is building up on the inside of the freezer door right next to the handle. I've attached a picture hope it helps.

Hi,

Looks like you have an air leak on the freezer door gasket, check to make sure its sealing tightly all around the cabinet when its closed. If you see a small gap in the door gasket, use a hair dryer to soften it up and it will reset to the cabinet.

Hi. I've looked around the seal didn't see a gap. I noticed between top door and lower door drops of water is that normal? Or is my seal completely worn out?

No, there shouldn't be drops of water. If the door gasket is sealing good, then it shouldn't be worn out.

Did you also check your refrigerator gasket?

I've checked all around the freezer door at the gasket looks fine, I've notice tiny gaps between the door and the seal/gasket. When the freezer door is closed all noticed a small gap but that has been there since we bought the fridge.

I've noticed water drop accumulation almost from day one, but it would be every couple of months. This is the first time I've noticed ice/frost on the inside of the freezer door. I'll do another visual inspection, another suggestions?
