Trick to defrost a freezer: the ice will disappear without unplugging it.

• Get rid of Food: Empty the freezer, placing food in a cooler or  refrigerator to keep it cold.
• Protect the Floor: Place absorbent towels or rags around the freezer to collect meltwater.
• Hot Water Method: Fill heat-resistant containers with hot water and place them in the freezer. Close the freezer door and let it sit for 15-20 minutes.
• Applying a Plastic Spatula: Carefully use a plastic spatula to remove the melted ice. Avoid using metal tools, as they can damage the freezer walls.
• Removing Melted Water: As the ice melts, use the towels to gather and remove the water.
• Speed Up the Process with a Fan (optional): If you want to speed up the process, place a fan in front of the open freezer to help melt the ice more quickly.
• Additional Cleaning (optional): Prepare a mixture of water and vinegar on the freezer walls and wipe them with a cloth to disinfect and prevent future ice buildup.

Additional Tips:

• Preventing Ice Buildup: Make sure to close the freezer door tightly after each use and regularly check the door seals to prevent moist air from entering.
• Freezer Organization: Maintain your freezer well prepared and avoid overloading it. This helps air circulate better and reduces ice buildup.
• Keep your freezer in optimal condition with these simple steps and enjoy an appliance that works better and consumes less energy.

✅ RECOMMENDATIONS FOR DEFROSTING A REFRIGERATOR
