How to defrost the refrigerator quickly

Any refrigerator requires a careful relationship. To maintain its performance, periodic maintenance is required, including defrosting and washing. Regular and timely preventive cleaning of the refrigerator will prevent compressor overloads, and will also avoid reproduction of bacteria inside the unit.

How to defrost the refrigerator: defrosting systems

Many housewives periodically wonder if the refrigerator needs to defrost. Modern models of refrigerators, as a rule, are equipped with an automatic thawing system of No Frost or a “crying wall” - in this case, with a stable operation of the unit, a significant amount of ice is not accumulated inside. Nevertheless, regardless of the type of refrigerator, most experts to the question of how many times to defrost the refrigerator, they answer as follows-should be defrosted as necessary, but at least once or twice a year.

There are several systems for defrosting the refrigerator:

• manual, requiring human participation to launch and control the process;
• drip - on the back wall of the refrigerator during the compressor operation, moisture is collected, flowing periodically into a special container and evaporating from there in a natural way. Thanks to this system, ice does not intention in the refrigerator. The disadvantages of the drip type of refrigerators include the formation of ice in the freezer - to remove it, you need to defrost the drip refrigerator manually. Sometimes a drain hole that removes moisture from the refrigerator is clogged with dust and dirt - in this case, clogging can be eliminated using a sprint or soft wire;
• “Nofrost” or air - a compulsory circulation system of air, thanks to which wet air is excreted outside the refrigerator. In this case, the appearance of hoarfrost and ice in the refrigerator and freezers is excluded, respectively, there is no need to defrost the refrigerator No Frost manually. The disadvantages of this system include “drying” of open products - their sealed packaging is required;
• combined - is considered the most effective. Such models are equipped with a drip system of defrosting of the refrigerator, as well as the air - freezer. These products are characterized by a rather complex device and high cost.

How to defrost the refrigerator: the frequency of defrosting

The indicator indicating whether the refrigerator should be defrosted, the amount of ice and hoarfrost on the evaporator of the freezer. A dense snow fur coat slightly worsens the quality of freezing of products due to a decrease in heat transfer, energy consumption increases, with a significant expression of ice, the refrigerator parts can be deformed.

How often you need to defrost the refrigerator depends on several factors.  The rate of ice formation in the refrigerator depends on the conditions of its operation - the temperature in the room, as well as air humidity. If the door of the freezer is often opened, or if the tightness of the closing is somewhat disturbed, a significant layer of ice intensifies in it, from which it is required to periodically get rid of.

Experts recommend periodically defrosting Samsung refrigerators with “No Frost” technology - with the aim of preventing and subsequent washing. Despite the presence of the auto -freezing function, according to the instructions of the manufacturers, it is necessary to defrost the refrigerator Atlant at least once a year. Indesite, according to professionals, should be defrosting the refrigerator at least 1-2 times a year.  The defrosting, followed by washing, will positively affect the working capacity of the refrigerator, will warn the reproduction of bacteria inside the unit and the appearance of an unpleasant odor.

How to defrost the refrigerator: preparation for defrosting

In order to correctly defrost the refrigerator, you first need to put the thermallane pointer to the “0” mark, then turn off the refrigerator from the power supply, open the refrigerator and freezer doors and get products from there. They are put in any container, which can be put in a basin filled with cold water with ice. In addition, the most perishable products can be folded into a plastic bag with the addition of pieces of ice from the refrigerator and tightly tied. In winter, products can be put on the balcony. If the refrigerator does not provide a pallet for collecting water, a container (a deep bowl or a pan) is placed below, or a fabric is laid for absorption of water, which will need to be periodically squeezed. The door of the freezer must be opened and fixed in this position.

How to defrost the refrigerator: a sequence of actions

There are simple rules on how to defrost a two -chamber refrigerator:

• for natural defrosting, the unit is left turned off for a while. How much you need to defrost the refrigerator depends on the degree of intention. The more ice and hoarfrost have accumulated, the more time it will be needed for their complete melting. In order to defrost the old refrigerator, it will take at least a few hours;
• you can wait until the refrigerator is defrosted naturally, or try to accelerate this process.

In models with automatic defrosting, the defrosting process is launched by pressing the appropriate button on the thermorel, while worrying how much to defrost the refrigerator, it is not necessary - when the ice is melted on the evaporator, the unit will turn on independently. For two-chamber refrigerators, defrosting is recommended every 6-12 months.

How to defrost the refrigerator: accelerate the process

To quickly defrost the refrigerator, you can use one of the following tricks:

• place a heating pad or a pan with warm water in the refrigerator's camera, add a new portion of heated water as it cools;
• use a hairdryer - dry the refrigerator, directing a stream of warm air to a layer of ice;
• put on an open freezer on a household fan;
• gently remove the dumped pieces of intended ice.

Do not try to remove ice with sharp objects like a knife or fork, since through such manipulations you can damage the refrigerator evaporator. The room in the refrigerator with boiling water can cause a sharp temperature drop, leading to overheating and breakdown of freezers.

Talu water from the pallet from below, as necessary, you need to drain.

How to defrost the refrigerator: washing

To wash the refrigerator, prepare a soda or vinegar solution - add 2 tablespoons of soda or vinegar per liter of warm water. You can also use a special detergent for cleaning refrigerators and freezers. It is not recommended to use abrasive cleaning, as well as aggressive detergents, compounds with bleach for washing the steel and plastic surfaces of the refrigerator.

The refrigerator must be thoroughly washed inside and outside, armed with a soft sponge or a microfiber napkin - not forgetting about dirty shelves and gangs, as well as a door with a seal. The rear lattice of the refrigerator must be cleaned of the web and dust (it is convenient to do this using a vacuum cleaner).

After washing, the refrigerator should be wiped dry with a fabric cloth and left for a while with an open door - for ventilation. The floor near the refrigerator is wiped dry.

Next, a thawed refrigerator is included in the network and let it work for a while empty, after which they load the products.
