Brilio.net - There are various types of refrigerators that you can choose according to your needs. However, each type of refrigerator has its own characteristics, such as one-door refrigerators whose freezer shelves easily fill with frost. Ice flowers that are left will continue to multiply and harden, making it difficult to clean.
Not only is it difficult to clean, the ice that has accumulated also makes the freezer shelf space increasingly narrow. As a result, when the frost builds up, you won't be able to store large amounts of food. Many people choose to overcome this by unplugging the refrigerator and letting the frost melt overnight.
However, the trick of melting freezer ice is considered less effective, because the melted ice can fall and cause the floor to flood. So, for those of you who are still confused about the trick, you can copy the tutorial as uploaded by netizens on the TikTok account @resepvindi.
This trick also only takes about 1 hour, you know. Apart from that, the netizen known as Vindi also admitted that he routinely does this trick of defrosting the freezer at least once a month. This routine not only makes the refrigerator always shine, but also makes it last longer, you know.
"Defrost regularly, if not, the refrigerator will not be cold enough," he said, quoted by BrilioFood from TikTok @resepvindi on Tuesday (20/2).
Tricks to defrost the freezer.
Vindi explained, you don't need to unplug the refrigerator at all, just set the temperature to the highest, then remove all the contents of the refrigerator first. Next, place the fan directly in front of the freezer shelf. Yup, this fan is the main tool for practicing this trick of melting ice.

While airing with a fan, the frost will melt quickly and fall onto the shelf at the bottom of the freezer. Every 2 or 10 minutes, remove the rack to drain the water. When the frost gets thinner, you can immediately remove them one by one.
"It's barely been an hour but there's already this much ice left," added Vindi.

After all the frost has been cleaned, wipe the entire inside of the refrigerator with a clean cloth until there are no more water droplets left. If it is dry, lower the temperature of the refrigerator again and return all food and drink ingredients to it. Wow, Vindi's refrigerator is clean and tidy again, huh?
