Why Choose a Fridge Freezer Frost Free? You'll save time and effort when you select a freezer that is frost-free. They also have more storage capacity than those without this feature. Place towels or old sheets nearby to protect the area around the appliance from drips of water. There is no need to defrost. Fridge Freezers with Total No Frost technology continuously circulate cool air around each compartment, preventing ice from ever building up on the freezer walls. This is an ideal solution for those who prefer to store a variety of items in the freezer, but dislike the idea of having to defrost it every year. If you have a buildup of ice in your freezer, it will typically undergo a defrost process automatically.

A freezer that is frost-free can allow you to store more food because it doesn't require space. Another benefit of a frost free freezer is that it will have greater energy efficiency than refrigerators that use traditional defrost systems that means you'll reduce your electricity bills. If you are required to defrost your refrigerator freezer, it's typically because it has accumulated an excessive amount of frozen ice. The ice is preventing the refrigeration system from efficiently cooling the freezer. It's usually due to an inefficient thermostat that is not regulating the temperature properly. The freezer may have been opened and shut frequently, allowing moisture to enter the freezer. To prevent this, it is best to wait until the food is cold before placing it in the freezer, and also make sure that all containers are sealed. You can also decrease the likelihood of having to defrost your fridge freezer by making sure it's not overfilled. It is recommended to store food in separate containers and use small quantities at a time, instead of filling the freezer to capacity. This will also ensure that the freezer fan isn't obstructed and can circulate air properly. Check that the door seal is not damaged. This is what keeps room air from getting into the freezer and fridge. If the seal is broken, warm air can enter the fridge, causing frost to accumulate on the evaporator. To prevent this from happening, you should clean the evaporator coil with a special spray, which can help in removing any frost that may have built up. No more accumulation of ice You will have to defrost your freezer less frequently if there is no accumulation of ice. If you do notice frost building up on the back of your freezer, it could suggest that your fridge isn't properly defrosting. When a fridge or freezer does not defrost properly, it will stop its cooling system for around 20 minutes every 6 hours, to ensure that the heaters behind the back wall can stop frost from building up on the evaporator coils as well as the back wall of the freezer. This ensures that air can flow freely across both freezer and refrigerator and stops food items from freezing to a tough consistency. Make sure that the seal on the freezer door isn't broken or blocked. You should also make sure you are not overloading your freezer, or storing items in plastic bags or other containers that hinder cold air from moving around them. Make sure that your freezer isn't too close to a heater or radiator. If you do need to remove a build-up of frozen ice from your freezer it is best not to use a blade or any other sharp instrument since it could cause damage to the appliance. Instead, disconnect the freezer and let the ice melt. Then, wipe down the inside and plug it back in. You can also put an old towel in front of the refrigerator and wait for it to melt. You can then clean the freezer with a dry, clean cloth and ensure that the temperature is in order before restocking it.

In contrast to traditional fridge freezers, where bad smells may find their way into the compartment of the freezer and contaminate food however, the frost-free models do not have the same problem. The compressor circulates air to cool them. This air is then chilled to 0degC, so that it does not emit odours. It is still essential to store foods in airtight containers, or wrap them in plastic bags, plastic-coated frozen paper, heavy duty aluminum foil, or something similar to decrease the amount of moisture that is in the refrigerator. Despite the name of frost-free refrigerator freezers, they still require defrosting from time time. They are not as efficient as conventional freezers. The evaporator coils in the freezer are located at the back, and the heating element for defrost is used to melt the frozen ice that forms on them. If this isn't working, frost could build up on the evaporator which will cause cooling problems. If you don't have an auto defrost system, you will need to manually defrost your freezer every now and then. This only takes about a minute and won't alter the taste of food. If you have a Frost Free model with Total No Frost technology, this won't require defrosted because it continuously circulates cool air through each compartment, preventing accumulation of ice on the walls of the cabinet. The odors in fridge freezers are caused by volatile chemical compounds, which react with water, while others aren't. If the smells are due to bacteria, then the compounds can move around and contaminate food items in the freezer. If the odours are natural, they will remain in the fridge until they are released through the vent or are removed by the defrost cycle. If odours start to enter the freezer, it's likely there's an issue with the seal or with the cooling process. Moisture may enter the refrigerator freezer if the door is left open, allowing warm moist air to enter or if food containers are packed too tightly, limiting airflow. Easy to clean Fridge freezer frost free models are much easier to clean than conventional models that require manual defrosting. It is possible to clean the freezer with baking soda and water solution when it is empty. Just mix one tablespoon of baking soda with a quart of warm water, dip an absorbent cloth into it and wipe clean the interior surfaces. You can also wipe down the seal around the door if it's dirty. The cooling coils on the back of the freezer are easier to clean as well because they don't have accumulation of ice. Also, you should not block the vents in the freezer, as they are designed to allow air to circulate. Paper, crumbs and even twist ties could get caught in here causing the fan to stop. If your freezer smells of spoiled food, you may need to use activated charcoal in an open container inside the freezer for several days to eliminate or reduce the smell. You can find this type of charcoal in the cleaning section of grocery stores. Before you put your frozen foods back in the freezer it's recommended to line the floor of the freezer using old towels or cloths so that melting Ice doesn't soak up too much water. Be sure to clean your freezer's drawers, bins, and the ice tray prior to putting them back in the freezer. To avoid the need to defrost to avoid the need to defrost, purchase a refrigerator/freezer equipped with Total No Frost Technology. This technology keeps the freezer at a constant temperature of 0° Fahrenheit and circulates constantly cool air, which stops the build-up of ice on the walls of your cabinet. This is a method that can save you a lot of time and money over the long haul as well as keep your food fresher longer. Defrosting a traditional refrigerator is still necessary at least once per year or when the ice layer is at the thickness of ¼ inch. Also, make sure that the gasket on the door is sealing properly by shutting the freezer on the back of a piece of paper. If the gasket breaks easily, it should be changed.
