i just took out a month’s worth of ‘bad day with donny’ and my freezer has never been smoother.
Just in case anyone wants their freezer to live beyond this immediate lack of self-control: never do that. Always simply defrost it.
Anyways. That was my party-pooper post for the day. Have a great one, all.
Even more importantly, your freezer shouldn’t be building up ice like that and might need a new seal.
My very first place, gf at the time used a butter knife to chip out ice from the freezer. Yeah, had to buy a new one.
Knowing this, and that a coworker wanted to do the same with the mini fridge I of course warn them about how easy it is to puncture the refrigeration line. And yeah another dead fridge.

Is the risk that you might hit something important under the ice?
Yes. You’d be surprised how thin these walls are. You puncture them effortlessly. And thereby ruin the freezer effortlessly.
Yes. Or pry up some part that shouldn’t.
Plus, it’s one of the best ways to ruin a cleaver.
I came here to say that. Just melt it and then turn it back on after.
what I’m hearing is that the cleaver will need other uses formulated.
You could just twist and roll the shit out of some bread dough if you’re feeling industrious. You want a danish recipe?
Icy build-up? Is that an American thing that doesn’t affect normal freezers?
Yes, because we can’t afford to replace our seals, I guess

I’ve not had an icy build up in decades. Do Frost-free freezers not exist in the US?
I’d say most are frost free. Freezer in mini fridges being a big exception.
And it is frustrating because there’s no technical limitation. The manufacturers just don’t make them. It is a simple circuitry with a thermometer and a heating element wrapped around the freezer lines. It doesn’t take up any more space or make the mini fridge any more expensive.
i don’t even know what this means.
i M a pOoR. isfrost has hack now! ugH.
