Do "chest fridges" have a higher risk of mold? With a chest freezer, humidity just frosts onto the walls and you can periodically defrost and empty it.

With a fridge, moisture from foods and opening the door would collect on the bottom, unless you've got it tipped on its side? Even still, given how deep it is I would think that might be problematic.

FWIW I live in a very humid climate, so maybe it isn't so much an issue for you.



Honestly IDK. There is a drain in the bottom, and the sides and bottom are all actively cooled and covered with aluminum. For my case it's in a very dry environment and I take it down and deep clean it each season.


I'm curious if silica gel could work to remove the moisture?


You probably just get frost at the bottom.
