When it comes to the upkeep of your kitchen appliances, one of the most useful things to learn is how to defrost a freezer to keep it running smoothly and your food safely stored. Over time, layers of frost can build up, reducing storage space and making your appliance work harder than it needs to, increasing the cost to run your fridge freezer than it really should.
A lot of modern freezers have a frost-free feature so when you open the door and warm air goes in, an automatic fan will remove the warm air so it doesn't condense into water and freeze-producing ice. However, older freezers without this feature will suffer from a build-up of ice over time which will require defrosting.
