Step 3: Let thawing begin
Open the doors of the refrigerator and freezer, allowing room temperature to start the melting. For a faster process, place a hot water saucepan inside, remembering to replace it periodically while it cools.
Step 4: Scratch carefully
If the thick ice cream persists, gently use a plastic scraper or a spatula (never made of metal) to encourage it to become detached. Exercise and caution in avoiding damage to your refrigerator.
Step 5: Deep cleaning
Although the inside is bare and accessible, take the opportunity to clean it thoroughly. Wipe all surfaces, paying particular attention to corners and hidden places where dirt could build up.
Step 6: Dry and restart
Make sure the inside of your refrigerator is completely dry to prevent immediate re-icing. Put the shelves and trays back on, reconnect the refrigerator, and waited patiently for it to return to a cold state before replenishing you.
Step 7: Organize and replenish
When you replace articles, think about the organization. This may be the perfect time to implement a new system, ensuring that items are easily accessible and that expiry dates are visible in order to minimise food waste.
Pro tip: Prevent future freezing
