  3. Remove all food items and place them in a cooler or insulated bag to keep them cold.
  4. Boil a pot of water and carefully place it in the center of the empty freezer (on a heat-safe plate or tray).
  5. Close the freezer door (if possible) or leave it cracked slightly.
  6. Wait 15–20 minutes — the steam from the hot water will loosen the ice buildup.
  7. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to gently push off the softened ice (never use sharp tools!).
  8. Wipe up excess water with towels.

Done! Your freezer is clean, frost-free, and ready to use again.

To slow down ice formation:

  • Regularly check seals and gaskets
  • Wipe down interior moisture before closing the door
