It’s the kind of task that we always put off… Until the day the freezer drawers refuse to open because of a layer of frost worthy of Antarctica! The good news is that there’s a simple trick to defrost your freezer without even having to unplug it. And yes, even granny would approve.
Why should you never let frost accumulate?
It’s often overlooked, but a thin layer of frost is enough to drive up the electricity bill. From just 5 mm, consumption can increase by 30%. In addition, this build-up puts unnecessary strain on the engine, slows down the circulation of cold air and can affect the proper preservation of your food. In short, a little preventive maintenance is better than a big emergency cleaning.
When is it a good time to defrost?
No need to wait for a mountain of frost. As soon as you spot a layer of 3 to 4 millimeters, it’s time to act. Depending on what you use your freezer for, this operation can be useful every 2 to 4 months.
