You can also use a hair dryer on the lowest setting for targeted defrosting—just be cautious and avoid water contact with electrical appliances.
FAQ:
Q: Is it safe to defrost without turning off the freezer?

A: Most freezers need defrosting once or twice a year, or when frost builds up beyond 1/4 inch thick.
Q: Can I use salt or chemicals to speed up defrosting?
