Why does ice form on the freezer walls and how is it prevented?

There are a number of reasons ice will develop in a freezer.
1. Warm air can seep in through an improperly closed or not sealed door causing the air to freeze on the evaporator coils. This will also happen if the door has been left open too long.
2. An auto defrost fan should be keeping moisture out of the freezer to not cause ice to form, if this is not happening, the fan could be damaged.
3. Typically a self-defrosting freezer will defrost themselves every 6 to 12 hrs., by turning off the compressor and turning on the defrost heater. If any part of the compressor is damaged, the self defrost feature will not work and frost will occur.
4. Low refrigerant levels can cause frost. Low levels can produce warm gas to run over the coils and then freeze.

Why is there smoke on the top of an ice tray immediately taken from a freezer?
What you see is not smoke; it is mist. When you pull the ice cube tray out, a bit of air from the freezer comes with it. This air chills the room temperature air to below freezing, causing the moisture in it to form microscopic ice crystals.
What happens when a liquid transforms into solid form it freezes or it melts?
If a liquid changes into a solid it freezes. When you place an ice cube tray with liquid water into the freezer, it will turn into a solid we call ice. If you take that solid ice out of the freezer and leave it on the counter, it will melt into a liquid once again.

When ice cube slowly vanish from tray is the example of?
When an ice cube slowly disappears from the ice tray in the freezer, that is sublimation. The solid water (ice) is turning directly to the gas state (water vapor)- it skips over the liquid phase.
How do you Build a Container Where Ice Will Not Melt for 30 minutes?
Buy a fridge/freezer and plug it in! That's the only wayguaranteed, thatthe ice will not melt for any given time (as long as you pay the bills on time)If you have to build a container, then your best bet is a thermo:A thermos bottle prevents heat transfer to the outside by using a vacuum between the walls of the bottle.The innerwall is usually made of glass while the outside wall is made of a plastic.Metal walls also exist.A vacuum doesnt conduct, since you need a substance to conduct heat.Same goes for convection, warm and cold liquids / gasses can rise and drop all they want, but the heat cant be passed on to the outside wall.Radiation is prevented by using reflective surfaces, which bounce back into the substance you are carrying in the bottle.Read more:How_the_thermos_flask_prevents_heat_loss_by_radiation
How do ice cube form in the freezer?
the freezing tempeture in the freezer will make water into ice. a liquid has no definite shape or form. in that case, get something squared, put water in it, and freeze it. a solid has a definite shape and form.

How do you tell if your freezer is broken?
To tell if your freezer is broken you put an ice cube in a small container and put a penny on top of the ice cube. then you put it in the freezer. After a couple days you check it. If the ice has melted and the penny is no longer on top of the ice cube then you should probably check your food in your freezer and get your freezer fixed.
