To quickly defrost your freezer.
- Remove the food and place in a cooler.
- Turn off or unplug the freezer.
- Place pans of hot water on each shelf; replace as they grow cool.
- Place a floor fan in front of the open door. Turn on high setting.
- As the ice melts use a wet/dry vac to vacuum up the water. This way you don't get water all over the floor.
- When the ice is all gone, dry the shelves with a towel.
- Spray with cooking oil spray and wipe off the excess. (This helps the new ice not to stick as much).
- Turn the freezer back on for 15 minutes.
- Load the food back into the freezer.
