Why is it important to defrost a freezer?
When frost accumulates on the walls of the freezer, it forms an insulating layer that leads to a reduction in heat transfer between the air inside the freezer and the cooling system.
However, in order for the device to keep the internal temperature constant, it must consume more power.
Frost formation not only leads to excessive energy consumption, but also poor food storage and shortens the life of your freezer.
Also note that a layer of frost just 3 millimeters thick increases the freezer’s energy consumption by 30 to 40%. However, it is recommended to defrost the freezer as soon as the frost layer reaches 2 to 3 millimeters.
How do you defrost a freezer quickly?
Before defrosting the freezer, you must first disconnect it from the power supply or put it on standby mode to avoid any incidents.
