Chest freezer has a very cold and discolored spot on the outside of the freezer about 6 inches in diameter Is the freezer about to go out?
while a chest freezer is the most ideal way of freezing foods because cold air drops ,the evaporator coils run in the lining of the chest a cold spot on the outside of the freezer could be caused by a void in the insulation(due to a previous repair) a discoloration about 6"in diameter sounds like it could be heat buildup from the compressor which on some models is 6' IN DIAMETER but to have a discoloration and a cold spot in the same place knocks these theories out of the box if they are in the same place. as far as the freezer being on its way out there is no way to tell. i always tell people to put as much food in a freezer as they can afford to lose because other things could cause food loss eg. blackout, storms, young children leaving lid up and food piled up preventing lid to seal.
