Why is it important to de-icer the freezer?
When the frost accumulates on the walls of the freezer, it forms an insulating layer which causes a drop in heat transfer between the air inside the freezer and the refrigeration system.
That said, in order for your household appliance to keep the indoor temperature at the same level, it needs to consume more energy.
In addition to over-consumption of energy, the accumulation of frost leads to poor food preservation and reduces the life of the freezer.
Also note that a layer of frost of only 3 millimetres increases the power consumption of the freezer by 30 to 40%. However, it is recommended to de-icer the freezer as soon as the layer of frost reaches 2 to 3 millimeters.
How to defrost the freezer quickly?
Also consider emptying your freezer and storing your food in coolers or insulated bags, so that you can keep them frozen for time to defrost your appliance.
Be careful to avoid using a hammer or sharp objects to dislodge the ice. This could pierce or puncture the walls of the freezer.
Instead, prefer a wooden or plastic spatula. Also, do not forget to put a mop at the foot of the freezer to clamp the water that will flow.
If the layer of frost is not thick, you can simply keep the freezer door open, after disconnecting it for 24 hours. The lack of electricity and the rising temperature will lead to melting of the ice.
To get faster, you can soak a sponge of hot water and rub the walls of the freezer to soften the ice.
It is also possible to fill a hot water spray bottle to spray it onto the walls for melting. Using a wooden spatula, drop the frost that starts to soften.
On the other hand, if the layer of ice is thick, it is advisable to use boiling water. To do this, boil water in a saucepan and place it in your freezer, taking care to place it on a bribe.
