Why Choose a Fridge Freezer Frost Free?
|
||||||
|

Place old sheets or towels around the appliance to protect the area around the appliance from water drips.

No need to defrost
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

Fridge Freezers that use Total No Frost technology circulate cool air constantly around each compartment. This prevents ice from ever forming on the freezer's walls. This is an ideal solution for people who like to store a lot of things in the freezer, but dislike the idea of having to manually defrost it each year. If you still encounter an accumulation of ice, the appliance will usually undergo an automatic defrost cycle.
|

|
|
||||||
|
A freezer that's frost-free has the obvious benefit of not having to defrost, which is a time-consuming and lengthy process that can take up to 24 hours. However, a frost free freezer should also mean that you can store more food items in the freezer as it does not lose storage space to ice.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A freezer that is frost-free is also more energy efficient than refrigerators that employ a traditional defrost technique, saving you money on electric bills. If you are required to defrost a fridge freezer, it is typically due to the fact that it has accumulated an excessive amount of frozen ice. The ice is preventing the refrigeration system from efficiently cooling the freezer.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is usually caused by a faulty thermostat which isn't regulating the temperature properly. The freezer may have been opened and shut often, allowing humidity to enter the freezer. To avoid this, wait until the food is cooled before placing it in the freezer or fridge. Also, make sure all containers are securely closed.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
By not overfilling your fridge-freezer it will decrease the chances of defrosting it. It is recommended to keep food in separate containers and use small portions at a time instead of filling the freezer to capacity. This will also ensure that the freezer fan isn't obstructed and is able to circulate air in a proper manner.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
It is also essential to ensure that the door gasket isn't damaged as this is the one responsible for keeping the room air out of the freezer and refrigerator. If the seal is damaged, this will also allow warm air to enter, which can cause a accumulation of frost on the coil of the evaporator. You can prevent this by cleaning the evaporator with a specific spray that will remove any frost.

No more accumulation of ice
|

|

The absence of ice accumulation means that you'll have to defrost your freezer less frequently. If you notice frost on the back of your freezer it could be a sign that your fridge-freezer isn't defrosting properly. When a fridge or freezer defrosts properly it will shut down its cooling system for around 20 minutes every six hours, so that heaters behind the back wall are able to prevent frost from forming on the evaporator coils as well as the wall behind the freezer. This ensures that air can circulate freely across both refrigerator and freezer and prevents food items from freezing to a hard consistency.

|

|
If the ice build-up is due to hot air leaking into your freezer, you can limit the risk by making sure that the seal [sale on fridge freezers uk](https://www.frydge.uk/) the door isn't damaged or blocked. It's also worth making sure that you're not overloading the freezer or storing items in plastic bags or other containers that don't allow cold air to circulate around them. It is also important to ensure that your freezer is not located too close to a radiator or a heater.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you have to get rid of a build-up of ice from your freezer, it is best not to use a knife or other sharp instrument as it could cause damage to the appliance. Instead, disconnect the freezer and let the ice melt. Then, clean the inside and plug it back in.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Alternatively, you can place an old towel on the floor in the freezer's direction and wait for the ice to melt. Then, you can wipe the freezer clean with a dry cloth and check whether the temperature is right before restocking it.

No more odors
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
In contrast to traditional fridge freezers, where bad smells can enter the freezer compartment and infect the food, frost free models are not a problem with this. The compressor circulates air to cool them. The air is at a temperature of around 0degC, so it doesn't produce odours. It is still essential to store foods in airtight containers, or wrap them in polyethylene bags, plastic coated frozen paper, heavy-duty aluminum foil, or something similar to decrease the amount of moisture in the fridge.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Despite the name of frost-free refrigerator freezers, they still need defrosting from time to intervals. This is due to the fact that they're not as efficient as traditional freezers. The evaporator coils in the freezer are at the back, and an element that heats the defrost is used to melt the frost that is formed on them. If this isn't functioning, the frost may accumulate on the evaporator and lead to problems with cooling.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If you don't have an automatic defrost system, you will need to manually defrost the freezer every now and then. It takes only about a minute and won't alter the flavor of food. However, if you do have a Frost Free model with Total No Frost technology, this won't require defrosted since it constantly circulates cool air through both compartments stopping any ice from ever building up on the walls of the cabinet.

|

|
The odors in a refrigerator freezer are caused by volatile chemical compounds, some of react with water while others aren't. If the smells are caused by bacteria, then the compounds will migrate and contaminate food in the freezer. If the smells emanating from the fridge are natural, they'll stay there until they're expelled through the vents, or eliminated by defrost cycles.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If odours begin to penetrate the freezer, it's probably a problem with the seal or with the cooling process. Moisture can enter the fridge freezer if the door is left open, allowing warm humid air to pass through or if food packages are packed too tightly, which can restrict airflow.

Easy to clean
|

|

Freezing models for fridges are more easy to clean than conventional models that require manual defrosting. When the freezer is empty, you can clean it with a baking soda and water solution. Mix one tablespoon of baking powder with a quart of warm water. Dip an absorbent towel in the solution and then wipe down all interior surfaces. If the seal around the doors becomes dirty then you can clean it. The cooling coils on the back of the freezer are much easier to clean as well since they don't have any ice build-up. Make sure that you don't hinder the small vents in the freezer either, these are designed to allow air to circulate. Crumbs, paper and twist ties could get caught in here and cause the fan to come to a stop.

You may have to put activated charcoal in a container inside your freezer to lessen or eliminate the smell. This type of charcoal is available at grocery stores in the section for cleaning.

It's a great idea to cover the floor of your freezer with old cloths or towels before you return your frozen food. This will prevent the melted ice from soaking up too much moisture. Make sure you clean your freezer drawers, bins, and ice tray before putting them back into the freezer.
|

|
|
||||||
|
To avoid the necessity of defrosting and refreeze, choose a refrigerator or freezer equipped with Total No Frost Technology. This technology keeps the freezer at a constant temperature of 0° Fahrenheit, and continuously circulates cool air, which stops ice from building up on cabinet walls. It's a solution that can save you a lot of time and money in the long term and will also keep your food fresher longer.
|

|

|
It is recommended to defrost your conventional freezer at least once a year or when the ice layer reaches 1/4 inch in thickness. Also, always check that the door gasket is sealing properly by closing the freezer on a piece of paper. If it comes off easily the gasket should be replaced.
