❓FAQ:
Q: Is it safe to defrost without unplugging the freezer? A: Yes, as long as you're not using electrical appliances inside and avoid spilling water near electrical components. Always proceed with caution.
Q: Will the hot water damage my freezer? A: Not if the water is hot (not boiling) and placed in a heat-safe container. Avoid letting hot water touch plastic parts directly for too long.
Q: How often should I defrost my freezer? A: It depends on usage, but generally once every 3–6 months or when ice buildup reaches about ¼ inch thick.
Q: Can I use salt to melt the ice? A: While salt can lower the freezing point, it’s not recommended for freezers as it can corrode interior surfaces over time.
