Brilio.net - Frost that often accumulates in the refrigerator freezer, especially in a single-door refrigerator, is a common problem that many people often face. A freezer full of frost not only reduces storage space, but can also hinder cooling performance. As a result, food stored in it may not be well maintained and risks making the refrigerator damaged faster.
The process of frost formation in a single-door refrigerator occurs because warm air from outside enters every time the door is opened, meeting the cold air inside the freezer. The condensation that forms then freezes and slowly builds up into a layer of ice. In addition, leaking door seals or frequent opening and closing of the freezer door can also accelerate the formation of frost.
Dealing with frost buildup requires special attention. If you are one of the owners of a single-door refrigerator who often experiences this problem, a trick from TikTok user @newmomstore.01 can be imitated. Through one of the videos uploaded, she admitted to only using a practical and hassle-free way to prevent frost from building up in the refrigerator freezer .
As reported by BrilioFood from TikTok @newmomstore.01 on Tuesday (11/26), she initially claimed that the frost in her refrigerator freezer was building up faster than usual. Even less than 1 week after cleaning, the frost had appeared and built up. TikTok user @newmomstore immediately looked for the cause.

After further investigation, it turns out that the weight on the refrigerator door is one of the causes of frost quickly accumulating. To be more precise, TikTok user @newmomstore.01 admitted that she often puts drinking bottles on the refrigerator door. This bottle of water suddenly increases the weight on the door, so that its position will drop when closed.
"When closed, the rubber part doesn't fit tightly," said TikTok @newmomstore.01.

Well, heres the problem. A door that isnt closed properly will allow warm air to enter and cause frost to build up. This warm air carries water vapor with it, which then meets the cold air inside the freezer. This process causes the water vapor to condense and form a layer of ice on the inside surfaces of the freezer.

In addition, the refrigerator door that is not tightly closed also causes extreme temperature differences. Freezers are designed to maintain very low temperatures. When warm air enters, the extreme temperature difference between the outside air and the air inside the freezer causes water vapor to quickly turn into ice. This accelerates the process of frost formation, especially if the freezer door is often left open or not tightly closed.
Therefore, ensuring that the refrigerator door is always tightly closed is very important to prevent frost from accumulating quickly. Also, check the door seal regularly to ensure that there are no air leaks that could interfere with the freezer's performance. This way, you can maintain the efficiency of the refrigerator and avoid excessive frost buildup.
