Hey, friends! Ever come across this? You open the commercial-freezer, hoping to grab some yummy treats, but find yourself blocked by a thick layer of ice. What’s up with this ice build-up in the freezer? Today, let’s talk about why freezers get icy and how to fix it.
I. Why does the freezer accumulate ice?
“Blame it on a not-fully-closed door“
Sometimes we’re in a rush and might not shut the freezer door tightly. It’s like leaving a window open in winter – cold air rushes in. When the freezer door isn’t properly closed, hot air from outside gets in and turns into water droplets when cooled, then freezes into ice. See? The ice builds up layer by layer.
“Too wild with temperature setting“
Some think the lower the freezer temperature, the better. Wrong! If it’s too cold, moisture in the freezer freezes more easily. Just like wearing a thick coat in summer – you’ll sweat a lot. Similarly, improper temperature setting makes the freezer “sick” – accumulate ice.
“Sealing strip getting old“
The freezer’s sealing strip is like the one on your window at home. It ages over time. When it’s not working well, air from outside gets in more easily. Like a leaky bucket – water keeps seeping in. When air enters the freezer and moisture freezes, ice build-up occurs.
II. Problems caused by ice build-up
“Less space, so frustrating“
When the freezer has ice, the usable space shrinks. What could hold lots of delicious food is now occupied by ice. No room for more even if you want to buy more. Like having a big room but half is taken up by clutter. Annoying!
“Electricity bills skyrocketing“
A freezer with ice is like a hard-working old ox. It has to work harder to keep things cold, so electricity bills go up. Our wallets suffer. We feel the pain when paying bills each month.
“Food affected too“
With more ice, the temperature in the freezer is uneven. Some places are super cold while others not so much. Bad for food preservation and can lead to spoilage. Wanted to keep food well but ice messes it up. Depressing!
IV. Solutions are here
“Be careful when closing the door“
From now on, be more attentive when closing the freezer door. Make sure it’s tightly shut and hear a “click”. After closing, give it a gentle pull to check for looseness. Just like locking a door before leaving – be sure it’s secure. This reduces hot air entry and ice build-up.
“Set the temperature right“
Don’t be too wild in setting the freezer temperature too low. Adjust it to an appropriate level according to the manual or ask an expert. Generally, around minus 18 degrees is good. Keeps food fresh without too much ice. Like choosing clothes based on the weather – not randomly.
“Check the sealing strip“
Regularly inspect the freezer’s sealing strip. If it’s aging or deformed, replace it. Press it gently to see if there are gaps. Fix it quickly if there are. Like changing a window seal – makes the freezer more airtight and reduces ice build-up.
“Defrost regularly“
Don’t let ice accumulate. Defrost the freezer regularly, say once a month or every two months. When defrosting, take out the food and put it in a temporary cold place. Turn off the power and let the ice melt naturally. Or use a hair dryer on low to speed it up. After melting, dry with a clean cloth and put the food back.
V. Choose our multifunctional defrosting freezer
With our technological progress, we’ve introduced a multifunctional defrosting freezer. It not only prevents ice build-up but also automatically defrosts when needed, keeping it in top condition. It works by using advanced defrosting technology to start defrosting when there’s ice, ensuring the freezer’s cooling effect.
Friends, although ice build-up in the commercial-freezer is a headache, as long as we find the causes and take the right measures, we can get it back to normal. Remember, close the door carefully, set the temperature properly, check the sealing strip regularly, and don’t forget to defrost!
