lubricant for freezer drawer slides that does not freeze up

Call GE. There should not be any frost in a relatively new freezer. Not on the food, drawers, or anywhere else, and certainly not sufficient to cause moving parts to stick. I think you're looking for the wrong solution to the symptom.

That said, machinery exists in the Arctic that is adequately lubricated, so such greases are bound to exist. Here, in South Texas, we cook tamales in the freezing compartment, so I don't have any first-hand knowledge.

Sounds like either a design flaw or you have a leak that should be covered under warranty. Carefully examine all areas above the issue to determine the water source. A trouble light might help. Check for rust inside the slides too. Call GE customer support--they should have an 800 number.

I put pure STP in my locks to keep them from freezing, maybe it would work on your drawers.

I actually tried putting rubbing alcohol on the slides thinking the alcohol would absorb some moisture plus it would not freeze, but it didn't work. I'll think about the STP stuff.

Rubbing alcohol is 70% and will not absorb any water unless it is more than 90% alcohol. STP coats the metal so the ice doesn't adhere to it.

The rubbing alcohol I have says 91%, but it does not matter since it didn't work. I took apart the slide mechanism this morning and I let it sit out in the sun to dry up. Now it works fine, so I'm going to try and coat it with STP or similiar.

What abt this Dupont Teflon based multi lube?

Oh, you Texans and your tall tales. Reminds me of the punch line of that other Texas joke, paraphrased: "Yeah, I used to have a freezer like that too."

Give this a try
