Norge Refrigerator has frost or moisture buildup around the door
If you see frost or moisture building up around the door of your Norge refrigerator, start with the mullion heater flap. The mullion heater is the most common cause; if it fails the flap never heats to melt condensation. Use a multimeter to test the heater for continuity and replace it if it’s open. Next check the door support and door guide for damage or misalignment that prevents the mullion from forming a tight seal and can lead to the fridge door not sealing, then inspect the door gasket for twists, gaps or tears that let humid air in. Leaving a door open for several hours can also cause surface frost that usually clears with a normal defrost cycle, but persistent frost that does not clear is often a refrigerator not defrosting type problem tied to seals or the mullion heater. If you need parts, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your refrigerator and get step by step repair guidance.
01 - Norge Refrigerator Mullion Heater
A defective mullion heater flap may not be able to heat up periodically to melt any frost or moisture that forms on the flap due to increases in room humidity. You can use a multimeter to test the mullion heater for electrical continuity to determine if the component is working. If the mullion heater has no electrical continuity you should replace it with a new one.

Common
04 - Norge Refrigerator Door Gasket
A door gasket should form an airtight seal around the appliance's frame to keep the cold air in and the warm air out. If the door gasket is twisted or torn, gaps can form that will allow warm air in, resulting in the freezer not freezing properly. Inspect the door gasket for any damage and replace with a new one if necessary.
Common
05 - Refrigerator or freezer door left open
If the freezer or refrigerator door was left open for an extended period of time (more than 4 hours), frost may have accumulated on the food and around the door opening. The frost should go away after the door is closed and the refrigerator goes through a defrost cycle.
