- Ensure you turn off your freezer hours before defrosting, this will help melt the ice. Make sure to leave the freezer door open. You can also put a bowl of warm water inside the freezer to speed up the defrosting process.
- Don’t use a knife or sharp object to break the ice, as this can severely damage the interior of your freezer.
- Ensure to defrost your freezer, when the ice thickness reaches ¼ or ½ inch. Leaving the ice any thicker will mean your freezer is working harder to cool food items, wasting energy and making you spend more on electricity bills.
