Do you open your freezer and discover a layer of frost that’s gradually reducing your storage space? This phenomenon, in addition to limiting the available space, forces your appliance to consume more energy. The result: an increase in your electricity bill and premature wear of the freezer. But how can you remove this frost without unplugging the appliance and risking defrosting all your food? Rest assured, there are several solutions to achieve this easily!
Why does frost accumulate and why do we need to take action?
Frost forms primarily due to moisture entering the air every time the door is opened. Over time, this buildup becomes problematic:
Increased power consumption : A thick layer of ice forces the appliance to work harder to maintain the cold.
Less space available : Your frozen food ends up being compressed under blocks of ice.
Premature freezer wear : An over-revving motor is likely to wear out more quickly.
Defrosting your freezer regularly helps to avoid these problems and optimize its energy efficiency.
