For larger freezers: If your freezer has a significant amount of ice buildup, you may want to consider using a steam cleaner for more intensive defrosting. This works similarly to a hairdryer but uses steam to melt the ice more rapidly.
Using a warm bowl of water: If you don’t have a hairdryer, place a warm bowl of water in the freezer and close the door. The steam will help loosen the ice, and you can then scrape it off gently.
