Why Choose a Fridge Freezer Frost Free If you opt for an appliance that is frostfree it will eliminate the need to defrost making it easier and quicker They also hold more storage space than models that dont have this function Secure the surrounding areas of the kitchen from water drips during defrosting by putting towels or old sheets close to the appliance There is no need to defrost Fridge Freezers that use Total No Frost technology circulate cool air throughout each compartment This prevents the formation of ice on the freezers walls This is a great option for those who want to store a lot of things in the freezer but dont like the thought of having to manually defrost it every year If you still encounter a buildup of ice the appliance will usually go through an automated defrost process A freezer that is frostfree has the obvious benefit of not having to defrost it which is a lengthy and difficult process that can take up to 24 hours A freezer that is frostfree allows you to store more food because it doesnt require space Another benefit of a frostfree freezer is that it has an energy efficiency that is higher than fridges with traditional defrost systems meaning you will reduce your electricity bills Defrosting a refrigerator freezer is generally required when it is surrounded by an excessive amount ice The ice is blocking the refrigeration system from cooling the freezer efficiently This is usually caused by a thermostat that is faulty and is not regulating the temperature in a proper manner It could also be that the freezer has been shut and opened frequently which will create humidity in the freezer To avoid this ensure that food is cooled before placing it in the fridge or freezer Also ensure the containers are sealed tightly If you dont overfill your fridge freezer it will decrease the likelihood of defrosting it It is best to store food in separate containers and use smaller amounts at a time instead of overfilling the freezer This will also ensure that the freezers fan isnt obstructed and can circulate air properly It is also crucial to check that the gasket on the door isnt damaged as it is the one responsible for keeping the room air out of freezers and fridge If the seal is damaged this will also allow warm air to enter and cause accumulation of frost on the evaporator coil To prevent this you can clean the evaporator coil using a special spray which will help remove any frost that may have built up No more ice accumulation You will need to defrost the freezer less frequently if there is no ice accumulation If you notice a layer of frost on the outside of your freezer it could be an indication that your fridgefreezer isnt functioning properly when it comes to defrosting If a refrigerator or freezer does not defrost properly it will stop its cooling system for about 20 minutes every 6 hours so that the heaters behind the back wall can prevent frost from forming on the evaporator coils and the back wall of the freezer This ensures that the air is able to flow freely through both freezer and refrigerator and stops food items from forming a hard consistency Make sure the seal on the door of your freezer isnt broken or blocked Its also important to ensure that youre not overloading the freezer or storing your items in plastic bags or other containers that dont allow cold air to circulate around them Be sure that your freezer isnt too close to a radiator or heater If you have to get rid of an ice buildup from your freezer you should avoid using a knife or other sharp object because this can damage the appliance Unplug the appliance and let the ice melt Then wipe down the inside before plugging it back in You can also put an old towel in front of the fridge and wait for it to melt You can then clean the freezer with a dry cloth and check that the temperature is in order before restocking it If youre looking for a new fridge freezer consider one with frostfree functionality It will save you time and effort Contact an Abt expert if you require more advice or assistance in choosing a new freezer They will be able to find the perfect appliance that fits your lifestyle and budget They can also help you with installation and any issues that might arise following the purchase No more smells The frostfree models are not affected by this problem Unlike conventional fridge freezers in which smelly odors can make their way into the compartment of the freezer and cause food contamination the frostfree models are not affected by the same problem They are cool by the air that flows through the compressor This air is then chilled to 0degC so that it doesnt emit unpleasant odours However its essential to keep foods in airtight containers or wrap them in polyethylene baggies plasticcoated freezer paper heavy duty foil or similar to reduce the amount of moisture that could escape from food items into the fridge These fridge freezers despite their name frostfree still require defrosting They are not as efficient as conventional freezers The evaporator coils of the freezer are in the back and the heating element for defrost is used to melt the frozen ice that forms on the coils If this isnt working frost could build up on the evaporator which will cause cooling problems If you dont use an automatic defrost device youll have to manually defrost your freezer periodically It only takes about a minute and wont affect the flavor of food If you have a Frost Free model with Total No Frost Technology it wont require defrost since it circulates cool air constantly around both compartments stopping any ice buildup on the cabinets walls The odors in the refrigerator freezer are created by volatile chemical compounds some of which react with water while others dont If the bad smells are a result of spoilage of microbial matter the chemicals will be released into the freezer and infect the food in it If the odours in the fridge arent caused by anything theyll stay there until theyre expelled through the vents or eliminated through defrost cycles If odours start to enter the freezer its probably a problem with the seal or an issue with the cooling process Moisture can get into the fridge freezer if the freezer door is left open allowing warm humid air to get in or if the food packages are packed too tightly which can restrict airflow Easy to clean Fridge freezers that do not require manual defrosting are simpler to clean It is possible to clean the freezer with baking soda and water solution if its empty Mix one tablespoon of baking soda in a quart of warm water then dip the microfiber cloth in it and then wipe it down on all surfaces inside If the seal around the doors gets dirty you can clean it The cooling coils on the back of the freezer are simpler to clean because they dont have accumulation of ice It is also important to not block the vents in the freezer since theyre designed to allow air to circulate Crumbs paper and twist ties can get sucked in here and cause the fan to stop You may have to put activated charcoal in a container inside your freezer to decrease or eliminate the smell This type of charcoal is sold at grocery stores in the cleaning section Before you put your frozen foods back in the freezer Its an ideal idea to line the floor of the freezer with old towels or cloths to ensure that the melted frozen ice doesnt absorb too much water Be sure to clean your freezers drawers bins and the ice tray prior to placing them back in the freezer The best option to eliminate the need for a freezer defrost is to buy a fridgefreezer with Total No Frost technology This technology keeps the freezer at a constant 0 degrees Fahrenheit and continuously circulates cool air which stops the buildup of ice on the walls of the cabinet This is a method that can save you lots of time and money over the long haul plus it will keep your food fresher for longer Defrosting a traditional refrigerator is still necessary at least once per year or when the ice layer reaches a thickness of 14 inch Also make sure that the door gasket is sealed properly by closing the freezer with an article of paper If the gasket breaks easily it needs to be replaced
