A frost-free freezer is also more energy efficient than fridges that use a traditional defrost method and will save you money on your electric bill. If you are required to defrost your refrigerator freezer, it's typically due to the fact that it has accumulated a large amount of ice. This is because the ice hinders the refrigeration system's ability to cool the freezer effectively.

It is usually due to the thermostat being defective and doesn't regulate the temperature in a proper manner. The freezer could be shut or opened frequently, causing humidity to get into the freezer. To avoid this, wait until the food is cool before putting it in the fridge or freezer. Also, ensure all containers are securely closed.

If you don't overfill your fridge freezer it will decrease the likelihood of it being defrosted. It is best to store food in separate containers and use smaller quantities at a time, instead of filling the freezer to capacity. This will also ensure that the freezer's fan isn't obstructed and can properly circulate air.

Check that the door seal is not damaged. This is what prevents air from entering the freezer and fridge.

This ensures that air is able to flow freely through both freezer and refrigerator and prevents food items from forming a hard consistency.

If your ice build-up is the result of hot air getting into your freezer, you can minimize the risk by making sure that the seal on the door isn't damaged or blocked. It's also worth making sure that you're not overloading the freezer or storing things in plastic bags or other containers that don't allow cold air to circulate around them. Also, you should ensure that your freezer isn't placed close to a radiator or heater.

They are cooled by air that circulates through the compressor. The air is then at a temperature of around 0degC, so it doesn't cause odours. However, it's essential to keep foods in airtight containers or wrap them up in plastic bags, plastic coated freezer paper, heavy duty foil or similar to limit the amount of moisture that could escape from food items into the fridge.

Despite the name of frost-free refrigerators, they do need defrosting from time to the. They are 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, frost may build up on the evaporator which will cause cooling issues.

If the smells are due to microbial spoilage then the chemicals will migrate and contaminate food in the freezer. If the smells emanating from the refrigerator are not caused by microbial growth, they'll stay there until they're expelled through the vents or eliminated through defrost cycles.

If you notice odours coming from the freezer, there is likely an issue with the seal or cooling process. Moisture can enter the fridge freezer if the door is left open, allowing warm, humid air to pass through or if food containers are packed too tightly, restricting airflow.

Easy to clean

Fridge freezer frost free models are much cleaner than conventional models that require manual defrosting. It is possible to clean the freezer with baking soda and water solution if it's empty. Just mix one tablespoon of baking soda in a cup of warm water, dip a microfiber cloth into it, and then wipe it down on the interior surfaces. You can also clean the seal around the door if it's dirty. The cooling coils at the back of the freezer are easier to clean, too, since they don't have any ice build-up.
