    Thanks for the tips! ❤ Last year, my top drawer froze shut 😅 I was still able to open it with a bit of strength, so I thought to myself "I need to defrost it soon" 😅😅😅 but I just moved out to my own house and never did this and had no idea how to do it. The instruction manual says to empty the freezer and leave it open overnight, but with hot weather and no second freezer, I didn't want to risk leaving my food out all night. This video popped up and it looked so easy! I decided to go ahead and defrost it immediately! It took a good hour and a half with changing the cooled down water for hot water every 15 minutes. But with minimal scraping, I don't mind at all! I'm glad my freezer is perfectly clean and clear of ice! It's the first time in 4 years I defrosted this freezer 😅 (I got it brand new when I moved!) But now I know how easy it is, I won't procrastinate when it's time to do it again! ❤

    I only have this little freezer department on top of my fridge and it was basically just an ice block at this point.
    That’s why I couldn’t add anything to let it melt. So here’s what I did: I warmed water to 80 degrees, put it in a little spray can and sprayed all over the ice.
    It got relatively loose pretty fast. Than I took a knife and „hammered“ it carefully below. It got loose enough to take the entire thing out as one piece.
    I threw it in the shower and ran hot water over it. Worked super nicely and now I can actually keep things in there 😅

    I had a similar small freezer for a while except my drawers were plastic coated wire. I used the hot water method a couple of times but it made a mess on my floor from all the dripping water so I quickly figured out another tactic. I had mine on a little rolling dolly so I would roll it out the front door & use my garden hose to spray it until all the ice was melted. Then dried it out & returned it inside.

    If you defrost before ice builds up, you can leave the food in the trays as it only takes a few minutes with a heater to defrost with very little to clean up. Done on a regular basis instead of leaving it until you have no choice, it is quick and easy, instead of something to dread. If you need to clean the trays, they can be emptied onto the bench as it only takes a quick wipe to clean them, by the time you are done, the freezer is defrosted.

    Great idea in theory, it may work for many but not for me. The trays in my freezer aren't one moulded piece. They are two bits that clip together so they would leak. I only have one washing up bowl that doesn't fit the shelf so that's not an alternative either. Glad my fridge is now a frost free one though, my next freezer will be too.

    Honestly never thought of it before. My freezer compartment had lots of ice but this method seriously saved me from considering the long process of open defrosting (too impatient lol 😆).
    Left the hot water for about an hour cause I wasn't sure if 15 mins was going to be enough for how thick the ice in my fridge was but honestly, one hour was probably too long, 30 mins would likely have done the trick.
    Thanks so much for the tip ✌

    We use 2 large pans with hot water heated on the stove and placed on separated shelves. After a quick wipe down we plug the freezer in and wait until it gets to zero and then replace the food. Ice cream is our favorite freezer food item.
