Why Choose a Fridge Freezer Frost Free? You'll save time and effort if you choose an frost-free fridge freezer. These models also have more storage space than those that don't have this feature. Place towels or old sheets around the appliance to protect the area around the appliance from water drips. There is no need to defrost. Fridge Freezers with Total No Frost technology continuously circulate cool air around the two compartments, preventing the accumulation of ice on the freezer walls. This is an ideal solution for people who like to store a variety of items in the freezer, but dislike the thought of having to manually defrost it every year. If you're still experiencing a buildup of ice in your freezer, it will usually undergo a defrost process automatically. A freezer that's frost-free has the obvious benefit of not having to defrost, which is a time-consuming and lengthy process that can take up to 24 hours. A freezer without frost can allow you to store more food since it doesn't require space. Another great advantage of a frost-free freezer is that it has a higher energy efficiency than fridges that have traditional defrost systems that means you'll save money on your electric bills. Defrosting a refrigerator freezer is usually necessary when it has an excessive amount ice. This is because the ice blocks the refrigeration system's ability to effectively cool the freezer. It is usually caused by an unreliable thermostat that is not regulating the temperature properly. The freezer may have been shut and opened often, allowing humidity to enter the freezer. To avoid this, you should always wait until food is cool before putting it into the freezer. Also, make sure that all containers are sealed. If you don't overfill your fridge freezer, you can reduce the chance of defrosting it. Place food in separate containers, and use smaller amounts at a time instead of overfilling your freezer. This will also ensure that the freezer fan isn't blocked, and is able to circulate air in a proper manner. Verify that the door seal is not damaged. This is what stops air from getting into the freezer and fridge. If the seal is damaged this can let warm air in and cause accumulation of frost on the coil that cools the evaporator. It is possible to prevent this by cleaning the evaporator using an evaporator spray that is specially designed to remove any frost. No more accumulation of ice The absence of ice accumulation means that you'll need to defrost your freezer less frequently. If you do notice frost building up on the back of your freezer, it may indicate that your fridge freezer isn't defrosting properly. When a freezer or fridge defrosts correctly, it will shut down its cooling system every 6 hours for 20 minutes so that the heaters will prevent frost from building up behind the back wall as well as on the evaporator. This allows air to move freely between the freezer and refrigerator to prevent food from freezing to a hard consistency. Check that the seal on the door of your freezer is not broken or blocked. It's also important to ensure that you're not over-loading your freezer or storing things in plastic bags or other containers that don't allow cold air to circulate around them. Make sure that your freezer isn't too close to a radiator or heater. If you are required to remove an ice buildup from your freezer, you should avoid using a knife or any other sharp object as it could damage the appliance. Unplug the appliance and let the ice melt. Clean the inside, and plug it into the freezer. Alternatively, you can place an old towel on the floor in the freezer's direction and then wait for the ice to melt. Then, clean the freezer with a dry, clean cloth. Check that the temperature is right before replenishing. If you're looking for a new fridge freezer look into one that is frost-free. It will save you time and effort. If you'd like further advice or help with selecting your new freezer, contact an Abt expert. They will be able to locate the ideal appliance that is suited to your lifestyle and budget. They'll also be able to assist you with installation and any post-sales issues you may face. No more smells In contrast to traditional fridge freezers, where odors of bad smells can enter the freezer compartment and infect the food, frost-free models have no problems with this. They are cooling by air that flows through the compressor. This air is cooled to around 0degC so it doesn't create smells. Nevertheless, it's important to store food in airtight containers or wrap them up in polyethylene bags, plastic-coated freezer paper, heavy-duty foil or similar to reduce the amount of moisture that may escape from food items into the fridge. Despite the name of frost free, these fridge freezers still require defrosting from time time. This is because they're not as efficient as traditional freezers. The evaporator coils in the freezer are located at the back, and the heating element for defrost is used to melt the frost that forms on them. If this doesn't work, then frost can accumulate on the evaporator, which can cause cooling issues. This means if you don't have an automatic defrost device, you will need to manually defrost your freezer every now and then. The good news is that this is only a couple of minutes and will not affect the flavor of your food. However, if you do have a Frost Free model with Total No Frost technology, this will never require to be defrosted as it constantly circulates cool air around both compartments stopping any ice from ever building up on the cabinet walls. The smells that emanate from a fridge freezer are caused by volatile chemicals that, in some cases, resemble water, while others do not. If the bad smells are the result of spoilage of microbial matter, the chemicals are likely to enter the freezer and contaminate the food in it. If the smells are not natural, they will remain in the fridge until they escape through the vent or are eliminated through the defrost cycle. If odours begin to penetrate the freezer, it's most likely an issue with the seal or an issue with the cooling process. Moisture may enter the refrigerator freezer if the freezer door is left open, allowing warm, moist air to enter, or if the food containers are packed too tightly, restricting airflow. Easy to clean Freezers with frost-free models are more easy to clean than conventional models that require manual defrosting. Clean the freezer with baking soda and water solution once it's empty. Just mix one tablespoon of baking soda with 1 quart of warm water, dip an absorbent cloth into it and wipe down the interior surfaces. You can even wipe down the seal around the door if it's dirty. The cooling coils at the back of the freezer are simpler to clean as well since they don't have any ice build-up. You should also not block the vents of the freezer because they're there to allow the air to circulate. This is where paper crumpled up crumbs, crumpled up crumbs, and twist ties can get caught, making it impossible for the fan to work. If your freezer smells of food that has gone bad, you may need to use activated charcoal in an open container in the freezer for a few days to eliminate or reduce the odor. You can find this type of charcoal in the cleaning section of the grocery store. Before you put your frozen food items back in the freezer it's an ideal idea to line the floor of your freezer with old towels or cloths so that the melted Ice doesn't soak up too much water. Make sure to wash your freezer's drawers, bins and ice tray before putting them back into the freezer. To avoid the necessity of defrosting to avoid the need to defrost, purchase a refrigerator/freezer with Total No Frost Technology. This technology maintains the freezer compartment at even 0 degrees Fahrenheit and circulates cool air to keep the formation of ice on the cabinet walls. It's a solution that can save you lots of time and money over the long haul, plus it will keep your food fresher longer. Defrosting a conventional refrigerator is still necessary at least once a year or when the ice layer has reached a thickness of ¼ inch. Also, always check that the door gasket is sealing properly by closing the freezer with a piece of paper. If the gasket breaks easily, it must be changed.
