Being an upright, all the ice accumulates around the top and once it gets going it's quite quick really, especially as I pull off the ice as it comes loose.<br />I put my stuff on a table and cover with towels and insulated stuff.

Aim first at the drawer that is stuck with ice. My freezer has a tube that fits into a groove at the bottom and melwater runs into a bowl on the floor. Very quickly ice melts wipe dry with tea towel put drawers back in switch on fast freeze nothing melts even ice cream stays frozen in a cool bag if necessaryNanny Rosenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-27572217097228250452023-01-11T14:46:59.598+00:002023-01-11T14:46:59.598+00:00Good luck with defrosting the freezer!
