What to do next:
Eliminate Food: Take everything out of the freezer and store it in the fridge or freezer to maintain its frigid temperature.
Safeguard the Flooring: To catch the water that will drain from the freezer, lay down absorbent cloths or towels around it.
How to Use Hot Water: Freeze containers that can withstand high temperatures after filling them with hot water. After 15 to 20 minutes, seal the freezer door. The ice will melt more quickly due to the water’s heat.
Make Use of a Plastic Spatula: Gently scoop out the melting ice using a plastic spatula. To keep the freezer walls in good condition, never use metal tools.
Get Rid of Melted Water: Gather the water that melts off the ice using the towels.
Use a Fan to Quicken the Process (Optional): To hasten the process, set up a fan to blow air over the open freezer, which will cause the ice to melt faster.
Extra Cleaning (not required): To clean and prevent future ice formation, spray the walls of the freezer with a combination of water and vinegar. Then, wipe them off with a towel.
Added Hints:
How to Avoid Ice Accumulation: After each usage, shut the freezer door firmly, and inspect the door seals often to make sure no damp air gets in.
Storage in the Freezer: To improve air circulation and decrease ice formation, keep the freezer orderly and not overloaded.
This strategy ensures that your freezer remains efficient and extends its lifespan by making it simple to defrost without unplugging it.
Optimal performance and reduced energy consumption from your freezer are yours to enjoy when you follow these easy measures to keep it in top shape.
