The breaker strips are located just inside the
front of the freezer case, near where the door seal makes contact.
If the breaker strips are warped or cracked, they may allow moisture
to get into the insulation between the inner and outer walls of
the freezer.
Before removing the breaker strips, unplug
the freezer to avoid an electrical shock hazard.
To remove the breaker strips it is important
to bring them up to room temperature first. If they are too cold
they will be brittle and may crack. To warm the strips you can
open the freezer and allow it to come up to room temperature (wait
2 to 4 hours) or you can soak a towel in warm water and hold it
against the strips to warm them.
Before removing the breaker strips, unplug
the freezer to avoid an electrical shock hazard.
