  1. You will never see freon in a crystal form.  It has to be under great pressure to form into a crystal.

    The freon in a freezer is inside the compressor and coils.  If it escapes, it will be in the form of a gas and you will not see it.  What you are looking at is condensate from the air - ordinary ice from water.


  2. They are just frozen condensation, water ice.  If you had a freon leak the freezer would stop getting cold.

  3. Certainly not Freon. At that temperature the Freon will be in gaseous form.

    It boils and vaporises at -40°C...much colder than the ice crystals of frozen condensate at about -18 to -21°C, (generally from the moisture of the atmosphere which enters the freezer every time you open the door or lid).
