Refrigerators are one of the essential appliances in our daily lives, but over time, a thick layer of ice may accumulate in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator. Not only does this affect how well your fridge cools, but it also takes up valuable storage space. So, how do you quickly melt the ice that has accumulated in your refrigerator? Here are some practical tips.
Unplug the power supply. Before you start melting the ice, first make sure that the refrigerator power has been unplugged. This ensures safety during operation.
Remove food. Remove the food and drinks from the refrigerator to avoid getting wet or damaged by the ice water during the ice melting process. Make sure your food is stored in other places.

If the ice is not very thick, you can wait for a while for the ice to melt naturally. This may take some time, but this method does not require any additional tools or skills.
Hot water de-icing. If the ice is thicker, you can use hot water to speed up the melting process. Pour hot water into the basin and place the basin in the refrigerator, as close to the freezer compartment as possible. The hot water will melt the ice quickly, helping you remove the ice faster. Please note that you do not use excessively hot water to avoid damaging the internal parts of the refrigerator.
Hair dryer de-icing.
If you have a hair dryer, you can use it to speed up the melting process. Turn the hair dryer to hot air setting and aim it at the ice in the freezer to blow hot air. Hot air can quickly raise the temperature of the ice, allowing it to melt faster. Be careful not to allow the hair dryer to overheat or be near the wires in the freezer.
De-icing shovel de-icing.
De-icing shovel de-icing is a more professional method. First of all, you need to unplug the refrigerator, and then prepare a de-icing shovel to shovel off the ice in all corners of the freezer and freezer.
