To defrost a freezer start by moving all of the food in it to a separate freezer or cooler. The process involves unplugging the appliance removing everything from the freezer and pulling off large pieces of frost to speed it up. This is a regular maintenance task. Defrosting a freezer manually is a hands on time consuming and tedious task.

The freezer drain hose will drain the defrost water into a drip pan at the bottom of the freezer. If it isn t set up a bunch of old towels on the floor to absorb the water as the ice melts. If your fridge has a separate door and different controls from your freezer then it s safe to leave food in your fridge. Next scrape out as much of the ice as possible with a spatula to speed up the melting process.

However this method works best when the air in your home is warm enough to make a real difference. Locate your freezer s drain plugs both interior and exterior and pull them out. If the exterior drain is threaded attach a garden hose and divert the water to a large bucket a floor drain or the outdoors. A fan can help circulate warm air into your freezer.

Simply set up a fan up outside of the freezer with its door propped open. Then unplug or turn off the freezer and spread some towels around the base of it to catch leaking water.
