Weather is humid.

Humid weather allows additional moisture

 

 

to enter the compartments when the doors

 

 

are opened leading to condensation or frost.

 

 

Maintaining a reasonable level of humidity in the

 

 

home will help to control the amount of moisture

 

 

that can enter the compartments.
