The use of a refrigerator is common in summer, but often comes with the problem of a thick layer of ice that is formed inside, particularly in older models in a single door with manual defrosting systems. This ice accumulation reduces the freezer's capacity and can even prevent the door from closing correctly.
The frequent need to defrost becomes a nuisance. Fortunately, there are some simple ways to address this problem. The first and most effective solution is to use the defrost button once a week. This will melt the accumulated ice. If your refrigerator does not have an automatic defrosting function, turn off every 10-15 days and leave the door open for a while so that the ice can melt naturally. This not only helps eliminate ice, but also improves the general performance of the refrigerator.
Another important advice is to never place food or hot water directly in the refrigerator, since it creates steam that condenses and ice shapes on the walls. Allow the food to cool before storing it.
Another trick is to apply a thin layer of kitchen oil or petroleum jelly to the freezer walls. This prevents ice from sticking, which makes it easier to remove. Always keep the refrigerator temperature configured in the middle. Very low temperatures make ice quickly form and also increase electricity consumption.
Following these steps you can avoid excessive ice accumulation, reduce cleaning discomfort and extend the useful life of your refrigerator while saving energy invoices.
