Saltwater Method: If you need extra power for defrosting, you can use warm saltwater instead of plain water. The salt helps lower the freezing point of water, which can speed up the ice-melting process.
Using a Fan: Some people place a small fan in front of the freezer to help circulate warm air inside, which can accelerate the process even further.
