Why is it hot between the refrigerator and the freezer null

Question

Most of the time it’s normal. 
Condensation prevention: The inner divider has a heat loop or a refrigerant line that warms up to prevent frost and condensation from forming between the two compartments, especially on humid days.
Hope this helps.

Greetings!

We understand it can be surprising to feel warmth between the refrigerator and freezer. This area, called the center mullion, is actually designed to be warm during regular use. That warmth helps prevent moisture from forming between the doors, supporting optimal performance and a clean appearance.

You may notice it feels warmer than usual during times of heavy use or in warmer environments. This is typically due to the compressor working a bit harder to maintain ideal temperatures inside the unit—it's all part of how the refrigerator keeps your food fresh.
