Re: [MBZ] Freezer not freezing

Depends on the time of year. I would rather use the heat gun and be done with it in an hour that have to relocate the contents and wait potentially days for it to melt. -D > On Nov 27, 2017, at 12:43 PM, Andrew Strasfogel wrote: > > Oh, I didn't realize this was a dual
