    Well, in fact, I haven't seen a freezer with an open evaporator in the summer, everything is covered with plastic.
    I forgot they existed.
    In total, I personally have never had one, at most there was a metal surface with a visible embossing where the tube with the coolant goes.

    Therefore, try a large pot of hot water, it will defrost everything quickly.

    The least invasive method.
    Put pots and bowls of hot water inside and wait.

    It's something weak. Traditional lattice, two pots and no ice. In 1.5h you should defrost, wash the baskets and chamber and reload. Wrap the contents in the feather.

    Unless you have nofrost. This, in fact, a pot of water will not do much.

    Well, my friend, you haven't seen much - the new Candy fridge-freezer, CMCS and CCBS models - evaporators on top (covered with a grille, as in the author's).

    Author - turn off the fridge, empty the drawers of frozen food into a large plastic bowl (for the removed laundry to be hung) and wrap it in a quilt / quilts, they will easily last for 1 hour. Then put a large pot that will fit on the middle or bottom shelf (under the pot put a large cloth, preferably a large towel), take a hair dryer in your hand and defrost the ice in the grates with a warm stream from the right distance. I assure you that it will melt quickly, although "fast" is understood differently by everyone, in this case fast it will be max. 1 hour.

    I have a fairly large and full freezer (3 drawers). Someone didn't close the door and it was freezing inside. I don't have a balcony, I don't have a place to store it all to defrost the fridge. Is there any way to get rid of the icing without defrosting?


    When I had a regular fridge and not now no frost, I did this:
    1. I turned off the refrigerator.
    2. I took out all the drawers from the freezer.
    3. I covered the stacked drawers with blankets to keep them from thawing.
    4. I took a hair dryer from my wife - one with a power of 2000 W and blowing to the max through the slightly ajar door for 10-15 minutes until all the ice melted and fell off.
    5. I wiped everything with a dry cloth and put the drawers back in and turned on the device.

    Because the whole operation lasted about 10 minutes, nothing in the fridge or in the removed drawers defrosted.

    - I have a 2200W dryer, maybe a good idea with the door ajar. I'll try that, but in those 10 minutes, I really don't want to believe it. Maybe there was a little icing


    I defrosted it many times because I already had poor seals and once every six months I had to de-ice. Killed with ice so that the top drawer could barely be removed. 10-15 min and after the topic - you can check. You can also direct the stream directly onto the ice. But you must always keep a distance of 15 cm from the defrosting surface.

Topic summary

The discussion revolves around methods to remove ice from a full freezer with three drawers without defrosting it completely. Users suggest various techniques, including using a plastic spatula or ice scraper to avoid scratching the interior, and placing pots of hot water inside the freezer to accelerate melting. Some recommend using a hair dryer or fan heater to direct warm air at the ice, while others caution against using high temperatures to prevent damage. Wrapping food in blankets or bubble wrap is advised to keep it frozen during the process. The conversation also touches on the challenges posed by the freezer's design, particularly the presence of an evaporator covered with a grate, which complicates access to the ice. Alternatives like antifreeze sprays are mentioned, but users generally favor traditional methods involving heat and insulation.
