You could always take the door gasket off and put someting betwwen the door so air could circulate in it.

take the guess work out. put one of those cheap electronic gadgets ($6 at Wal Mart) which measure humidity, check the humidity both in the room and in the freezer . If the humidity is more or less than what it is in the open area of your basement, you will have your answer as to if you should leave the freezer open or closed. Check it from time to time. During the winter, our whole house becomes very dry and must be supplemented with a humidifier.
