Hi,
we take that pot of hot water and place it inside. It has a cleaning
solution in it, mild ratio.
WE let the box get to room temp.
We place a hair dried on the thickes of the ice while splashing around
alot of the now very warm cleaning liquid. We let it drain, (that little
tube) out the bott

I am sure that you can get a frost free freezer, and for that matter in just
about any size.
The thing with my freezer is that it came over on the Mayflower. Or was it
the Santa Maria. I cant remember.
Back then nothing was frost free.

Never owned a freezer. Are you saying they don't make frost free freezers.
I'm currently in the market for a small freezer, don't need a big one,
there's only my wife and I at home.

One other thing to remember is to unplug the
freezer before you start. If you don't, it takes
forever to get all the ice build up out. Trust me
on that.

I just did mine and I use hot water and just dump it on the ice works very
well and then I have water to clean the thing out with. Once the ice is
gone I pull the plug and it drains, then wipe it out, put the plugs back in
it and away it goes. Takes me about 15 minutes.

I use a fan to direct room air into the freezer. It takes a half hour or so to
defrost a 17 cubic foot freezer. I like you, put the frozen food from the
freezer into coolers. If you have good quality coolers, you have no concern.
The food will never thaw before the freezer is defrosted, sani
When I had a chest freezer I would use a hair dryer to defrost the thing and
than wipe it out with a mild bleach solution of 1 teaspoon of bleach to one
quart of water. It worked quite well.
