Why Choose a Fridge Freezer Frost Free? You will save time and effort if you choose a frost-free fridge freezer. They also have more storage space than models that do not include this feature. Set old sheets or towels close to the appliance to shield the area around the appliance from water drips. No need to defrost Fridge Freezers with Total No Frost technology continuously circulate cool air around the two compartments, preventing ice from ever building up on the walls of the freezer. This is an ideal solution for those who prefer to store lots of items in the freezer, but don't like the thought of having to defrost it each year. If you encounter an accumulation of ice, the appliance will typically go through an automatic defrost process. A freezer that is frost-free has the obvious benefit of not having to defrost it, which is a time-consuming and difficult process that can take up to 24 hours. However, having a frost-free freezer should also mean that you can store more food in the freezer since it doesn't lose storage space to ice. A freezer without frost will also be more energy efficient than fridges that use a traditional defrost method, saving you money on your electric bills. Defrosting the refrigerator freezer is typically required when it contains an excessive amount ice. This is because ice blocks 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 shut and opened frequently, which could cause humidity to enter the freezer. To avoid this, it is best to wait until food is cold before putting it into the freezer, and also make sure that all containers are tightly sealed. You can also reduce the likelihood of having to defrost your fridge freezer by ensuring that it's not overfilled. Store food in separate containers, and use small amounts at a time instead of filling up your freezer. This will ensure that the freezer fan can circulate air and not be blocked. It is also important to make sure that the gasket on the door isn't damaged since it is the one responsible for keeping the room air out of freezers and the fridge. If the seal is broken this will also let warm air in, which can cause a frost build up on the evaporator coil. You can stop this from happening by cleaning the evaporator using a special spray that will aid in removing any frost. No more the accumulation of ice You'll need to defrost your freezer less frequently when there isn't any ice accumulation. If you notice that there is a layer of frost on the back of your freezer it could be a sign that your fridge-freezer is not functioning properly when it comes to defrosting. When a fridge or freezer defrosts properly it will shut down its cooling system for around 20 minutes every six hours, so that heaters behind the back wall can prevent frost from forming on the evaporator coils as well as the back freezer wall. This allows air to flow freely between the refrigerator and freezer, preventing food from freezing to the form of a hard consistency. Make sure the seal on the door of your freezer is not broken or blocked. It's also important to ensure that you're not overloading the freezer or storing your items in plastic bags or other containers that don't allow cold air to circulate around them. Make sure your freezer isn't too close to a heater or radiator. If you need to remove an accumulation of ice from your freezer, do not using a knife or other sharp object since it could damage the appliance. Unplug the appliance and let the ice melt. Clean the inside and plug it back in. Alternately, you can put an old towel on the floor in the freezer's direction and then wait for the ice to melt. Then, wipe down the freezer with a clean, dry cloth. Verify that the temperature is in the right range prior to replenishing. If you are looking for a new fridge freezer, look into one that is frost-free. It will save you time and effort. If you'd like additional guidance or assistance in choosing your new freezer, get in touch with an Abt expert. They'll be able to locate the ideal appliance that will fit your needs and budget. They'll also help you with installation and any after sales issues you may face. No more smells In contrast to traditional fridge freezers, where odors of bad smells can make their way into the freezer compartment and infect the food, frost free models are not a problem with this. They are cooling by air that flows through the compressor. The air is chilled to a temperature of 0°C so that it doesn't cause odours. It's still important to store foods in airtight containers, or wrap them in polyethylene bags, plastic-coated frozen paper, heavy duty aluminum foil, or something similar to decrease the amount of moisture that is in the refrigerator. These fridge freezers , despite their name “frost-free”, still require defrosting. They're not as efficient as conventional freezers. The evaporator coils sit in the back of the freezer, and the defrost heater works to melt frost on it when it forms. If this doesn't work, then frost may build up on the evaporator and cause cooling problems. This means if you don't have an auto defrost system, you'll need to manually defrost the freezer every now and then. The good news is this is only a couple of minutes and won't alter the taste of your food. If you have a Frost Free model, with Total No Frost Technology, it won't require defrost since it circulates cool air constantly throughout both compartments, preventing any accumulation of ice on the wall of the cabinet. The smells that emanate from a refrigerator freezer are caused by volatile chemical compounds, some of react with water while others don't. If the smells are a result of microbial spoilage, the chemicals will migrate into the freezer and cause contamination to the food inside it. If the smells are natural, they will stay in the refrigerator until they escape through the vent or are removed through the defrost cycle. If odours begin to penetrate the freezer, it's probably a problem with the seal or with the cooling process. Moisture can get into the fridge freezer if the door to the freezer is left open, allowing warm moist air to enter or if food containers are packed too tightly, limiting airflow. Easy to clean Fridge freezer frost free models are much easier to clean than traditional models that need manual defrosting. Clean the freezer with a baking-soda and water solution when it is empty. Mix one tablespoon of baking soda in one cup of warm water, then dip a microfiber cloth into it and wipe clean the interior surfaces. You can even wipe down the seal around the door if it gets dirty. The cooling coils at the back of the fridge are also simpler to clean as they don't have ice. Be sure not to block the little vents in the freezer, they are designed to allow air to circulate. This is where paper, crumpled up crumbs and twist ties get sucked into making it impossible for the fan to work. If your freezer is smelling of food that has gone bad, you may require the use of activated charcoal in an open container inside the freezer for a couple of days to lessen or eliminate the odor. You can purchase this kind of charcoal in the cleaning section of grocery stores. Before you put your frozen foods back into the freezer It's an ideal idea to line the floor of the freezer with old towels or cloths to ensure that the melted frozen ice doesn't absorb too much water. Also, make sure you wash your freezer bins, drawers and ice trays prior placing them back into the freezer. The best option to avoid the need for a freezer defrost is to invest in refrigerators and freezers that have Total No Frost technology. This technology keeps the freezer at a constant 0 degrees Fahrenheit, and continuously circulates cool air, which stops the accumulation of ice on the walls of your cabinet. This will help you save money and time in the long-term and will keep your food fresher for longer. It is recommended to defrost your conventional freezer at least once a year or whenever the ice layer reaches ¼ inch thick. Also, make sure that the door gasket is sealing properly by shutting the freezer on an article of paper. If it comes off easily the gasket must be replaced.
