Why your U.S. Cooler walk-in freezer is ice buildup

The first things owners spot on a ice buildup U.S. Cooler walk-in freezer: frost or solid ice in freezer compartment beyond normal. Defrost system failure. On this platform it's most often a stuck damper holding cold air. Left unaddressed, food or stock can spoil within hours.
