How to Defrost Your Freezer Quickly Without Unplugging It

2. Effectively Accelerate the Melting Process

Hold the hairdryer at a safe distance from the ice and never let water splash onto the device.

Pro Tip: Focus the hot air on the corners and edges of the ice blocks; once the edges melt, the entire block often slides right off.

Place a bowl of boiling water on a heat-resistant plate or trivet inside the freezer and close the door for 10 minutes.

Pro Tip: Add a few drops of white vinegar to the boiling water to naturally disinfect the interior while it thaws.

Soak a clean cloth in hot water and apply it directly to the frozen patches for several seconds.

Pro Tip: Heat several towels in the microwave (ensure they are damp) so you can rotate them quickly for continuous melting action.

Gently scrape the softened ice using a plastic or silicone spatula.

Pro Tip: Old loyalty cards or expired credit cards make excellent improvised scrapers that won't scratch the interior walls.

If a block of ice resists, apply more heat rather than prying it.

Pro Tip: Gently tap the base of the ice block with your scraper to find cracks where the water has already started to detach the ice from the wall.

Once the ice is removed, dry the interior thoroughly with a clean microfiber cloth.

Pro Tip: Sprinkle a little baking soda on a dry cloth and wipe the walls to absorb any residual odors.

Check the door seals for leaks and ensure you never place warm food inside.

Pro Tip: Once the walls are dry, apply a very thin layer of plastic wrap or a tiny amount of vegetable oil to the back wall. This makes the next layer of frost much easier to peel away.
