• Boiling water. In this case, a container with boiling water is put in the refrigerator to speed up the defrosting process.This method can also lead to failure of the refrigerator (overheating of oil, cooling gas, condensate penetration into important components that are not protected from moisture).

Reviews

And I always knew that scrubbing ice from the freezer is absolutely impossible. The walls of the freezer are very soft and they can scratch and deteriorate. We also had such spatulas with a freezer and a refrigerator, but they are for a slot at the very bottom, they are inserted and a bowl or bowl for melted ice is placed under them. Maybe I am behind and now such freezers are available that can be scratched. I work in a store that sells frozen foods, all freezers come with instructions that ice should not be scraped with solid objects, and even bright strips are glued to the freezers with a warning.

And my freezer is thawing until I wash my refrigerator inside and the frozen foods do not have time to defrost, and in the summer even ice cream was overlaid with frozen foods and it did not thaw. And the old refrigerator quickly defrosted, putting a saucepan with boiling water in the freezer. In no case should you break it off, you can damage the evaporator
