[Greenbuilding] finding coils inside (new) chest freezer

[Reuben Deumling]

Maybe yes, maybe no. My understanding is that the anti-sweat heaters are a
function of/are associated with auto defrost fridges. The chest freezer(s)
in question (thankfully) is (are) manual defrost. The history of anti-sweat
heaters, though, is quite fascinating.
Perhaps a subject for a different thread/another day.
