Brilio.net - The appearance of frost in the freezer is often a problem for many refrigerator owners. This frost is very annoying because it can limit storage space, cause odors, accelerate freezer damage, and increase electricity bills.
There are several factors that cause frost to build up in the freezer, one of which is the age of the refrigerator which is quite old. Some freezer components in old refrigerators tend to start to decline in function. This is explained by YouTube user, Oppa Thamrin.
"If you rely on the refrigerator to keep food or drinks fresh and cold, but when the refrigerator has been operating for a long time, you often find frost appearing in the freezer area of the refrigerator," explained Oppa Thamrin, quoted by BrilioFood on Wednesday (25/9).
To overcome this, some people usually use special tricks such as lining the freezer walls with plastic. This plastic layer can prevent frost from sticking directly to the freezer walls, making it easier to clean quickly.
Unfortunately, this method does not really prevent frost from appearing. Therefore, YouTube user Oppa Thamrin uses another trick that is more effective. According to him, there are four tricks that can be applied to prevent frost from appearing in the freezer.
First, pay attention to the location of the refrigerator. Make sure to place the refrigerator in a room temperature area that is not too hot. This is because a hot area can push the refrigerator freezer temperature to work extra. This has the potential to cause frost on the freezer.
Next, store food in dry conditions. So when you want to store meat or fish, you should make sure the food is free of water. You can use a container that is completely dry and remove the water that has pooled in the container before putting it in the freezer.
"If the food is damp or watery, this can cause frost," he explained further.

Another thing that can be done to prevent frost from appearing is to provide empty space in the freezer. It is better to avoid storing excessive food that can fill the freezer space. That way, air circulation in the freezer can run well and can reduce the risk of frost appearing.

Finally, pay attention to the frequency of opening and closing the refrigerator. According to YouTube user Oppa Thamrin, the appearance of frost is usually caused by the freezer or refrigerator door being opened too often or even opened for a long time. Well, this will cause the freezer temperature to be unstable. This condition actually makes the freezer machine work extra hard and causes frost.
"When the door is opened, warm or hot air will enter, so that the vapor content in the refrigerator will increase. This has the potential to form frost in the refrigerator freezer," explained YouTube Oppa Thamrin.
