Why Choose a Fridge Freezer Frost Free?You'll save time and energy if you choose a freezer that is frost-free. They also retain more storage space than models that do not include this feature.Secure the surrounding areas of the kitchen from water drips when defrosting by putting towels or old sheets close to the appliance.No need to defrostFridge Freezers with Total No Frost technology constantly circulate cool air around each compartment, preventing ice from ever building up on the walls of the freezer. This is an excellent solution for those who store a lot of items in their freezer, but don't want to be forced to manually defrost the appliance each year. If you still encounter an accumulation of ice, the appliance will usually go through an automated defrost cycle.The primary benefit of having a frost free freezer is the fact that you do not have to defrost it. This can be a lengthy and time-consuming process that can take as long as 24 hours each time. However, having a frost-free freezer also means that you can store more food items in the freezer because it doesn't lose storage space to ice.A freezer without frost will also be more energy efficient than fridges that employ a traditional defrost technique, saving you money on electric bills. If you have to defrost a fridge freezer, it is usually because it has accumulated a large amount of ice. This is because the frozen ice hampers the refrigeration system's ability to cool the freezer effectively.It's usually due to an unreliable thermostat that is not regulating temperature correctly. It is also possible that the freezer has been closed and opened frequently which will create humidity in the freezer. To avoid this, wait until the food is cooled before placing it in the fridge or freezer. Also, ensure that the containers are sealed tightly.You can also lower the chance of having to defrost your fridge freezer by making sure it isn't overpacked. It is recommended to store food in separate containers and use only small amounts at a time rather than overfilling the freezer. This will also ensure that the freezer's fan isn't obstructed and can properly circulate air.It is also crucial to make sure that the gasket on the door isn't damaged as this is responsible to keep room air from the freezer and fridge. If the seal is damaged, warm air can enter the fridge and cause frost to accumulate on the evaporator. To avoid this from happening, you should clean the evaporator coil with a specific spray, which will help remove any frost that may have built up.No more ice build-upYou will need to defrost the freezer less frequently when there isn't any accumulation of ice. If you do notice frost building up on the back of your freezer, it may suggest that your fridge is not defrosting correctly. If a refrigerator or freezer is properly defrosted, it will stop its cooling system for about 20 minutes every six hours, to ensure that the heaters behind the back wall are able to stop frost from building up on the evaporator coils as well as the wall behind the freezer. This allows air to move freely between the refrigerator and freezer, preventing food from freezing to a hard consistency.If the ice build-up is the result of hot air entering your freezer, you can reduce the risk by making sure that the seal on the door isn't broken or blocked. Also, make sure you're not over-loading your freezer or storing things in plastic bags or other containers which hinder cold air from moving around them. Also, you should ensure that your freezer isn't placed too close to a radiator or heater.If you need to remove an accumulation of ice from your freezer, do not using a knife or other sharp object as it could damage the appliance. Instead, disconnect the freezer and let the ice melt. Then, wipe down the inside and plug it back in.Alternately, you can put an old towel on the floor in front of the freezer and wait for the ice to melt. Then, you can wipe the freezer down with a dry cloth and check that the temperature is correct before replenishing it.A refrigerator freezer with frost free functionality can save you a lot of time and effort, so be sure to take this into consideration when choosing your next kitchen appliance. Contact an Abt expert if you require more assistance or advice on choosing a new freezer. They'll be able to help you choose the right appliance for your budget and lifestyle. They'll also be able to assist you with installation and any after sales issues you might have.No more smellsIn contrast to traditional fridge freezers, where smells from the kitchen can get into the freezer compartment and contaminate the food, frost free models have no problems with this. They are cooling by air that flows through the compressor. This air is then chilled to 0degC so that it doesn't release smells. It's still important to keep foods in airtight containers, or wrap them in plastic bags, plastic-coated frozen paper, heavy-duty aluminum foil or similar to reduce the amount of moisture that is in the refrigerator.These fridge freezers, despite the name "frost-free" need defrosting. This is due to the fact that they're not as efficient as traditional freezers. The evaporator coils are in the back of the freezer and a defrost heater is used to melt frost when it forms. If this doesn't work, then frost can accumulate on the evaporator which will cause cooling problems.If you don't use an automatic defrost system you will have to defrost the freezer manually regularly. This only takes just a few minutes and will not affect the taste of food. If you have a Frost Free model with Total No Frost technology, it will never require to be defrosted as it constantly circulates cool air throughout each compartment, preventing accumulation of ice on the walls of the cabinet.The smells that emanate from a refrigerator freezer are caused by volatile chemical compounds, which react with water, while others do not. If the smells are a result of spoilage of microbial matter, the chemicals are likely to enter the freezer and contaminate the food in it. If the smells emanating from the fridge are natural they'll remain there until they are ejected through the vents, or eliminated through defrost cycles.If odours begin to penetrate the freezer, it's likely there's a problem with the seal or an issue with the cooling process. Moisture can get into the freezer of the fridge when the freezer door is opened, allowing warm air in, or if food packages are packed tightly enough to restrict airflow through the evaporator.Easy to cleanFreezing models for fridges are much cleaner than traditional models that require manual defrosting. With the freezer empty, you can clean it using baking soda and water solution. Mix 1 tablespoon baking powder with a quart of warm water. Dip a microfiber towel in the solution and wipe all interior surfaces. If the seal around the doors gets dirty, you can clean it. The cooling coils at the back of the fridge are also easier to clean because they do not have the ice. Also, you should not block the vents on the freezer, since they're in place to allow air to circulate. Paper, crumbs and even twist ties could get caught in here which can cause the fan to stop.If your freezer is smelling of food that has been spoiled, you might require the use of activated charcoal in an open container in the freezer for a few days to eliminate or reduce the smell. This kind of charcoal in the cleaning section of grocery stores.Before you put your frozen food items back into the freezer it's an ideal idea to line out the floor of the freezer using old cloths or towels so that melting ice doesn't soak up too much water. Make sure you clean your freezer drawers, bins, and ice tray before putting them back into the freezer.The best option to avoid the requirement for a defrost is to purchase refrigerators and freezers that have Total No Frost technology. This technology keeps the freezer at a constant temperature of 0 degrees Fahrenheit and circulates constantly cool air, which stops ice from building up on the walls of your cabinet. It's a solution that can save you lots of time and money in the long run, plus it will keep your food fresher longer.You should defrost your conventional freezer at least once a year or whenever the ice layer has reached 1/4 inch in thickness. Also, always check that the door gasket is sealing properly by shutting the freezer using an article of paper. If the gasket comes off easily, it needs to be replaced.
