Defrosting the refrigerator....

[ken]

I have my grandmothers 1941 Kelvinator fridge. Only fridge she ever had. Only repair since new was a door gasket. Still runs fine. A few weeks ago I plugged it in and turned in on. I was very surprised to find the plate in the freezer was cold to the touch in about 60 seconds.

Was originally going to create a whole new thread about this but I figured, why not bring back the old ones Anyways, it's that time for us to defrost our freezers again. This is from our Kenmore.

The hot water certainly helps but if you just put a fan blowing inside toward the inside of the freezer either a box fan or a portable desktop fan that freezer would defrost in about 15 minutes or less.

I'll probably do that to one of our GE fridges cause there's no way hot boiling pots would fit inside the freezer compartment, thanks for the suggestion!
