How to defrost the refrigerator quickly?

If you understand that it's really time to clean the ice from the refrigerator, but you do not have time to spend on it almost the whole day, use our advice how to speed up the process and quickly defrost the refrigerator.

You can do it this way:

1. Fill small containers with warm, but not very hot water. Arrange them on the shelves, periodically updating. In the process, steam from hot water will be released, which will accelerate thawing.
2. Turn on the fan or fan heater and direct the jet directly onto the thick layers of frost to literally melt it in front of your eyes. Keep the heater itself plugged in as far as possible from melting, dripping water. Dropping into the system not only can disrupt the equipment, but also cause irreparable harm to you.
3. As thawing, remove pieces of ice with a sharp object, without waiting for it to separate or completely defrost. But remember that you should act very carefully in this case, so as not to damage the surface or the heat exchanger, which circulates freon.
