Freezer Ice Mountain? Defrost Button Failed? 7 Tricks to Melt Ice Fast!

• If your defrost button isn't working, turn off the fridge for an hour to start melting the ice.
• A thick ice layer obstructs airflow, reduces cooling, increases compressor pressure, and can lead to higher bills or even fire in old fridges.
• If the defrost button is faulty, turn off the fridge and leave the door open for faster melting.
• Place a pot of boiling water inside the freezer; the steam will quickly loosen and melt the ice.
• Use a table fan to blow air into the open freezer; this will accelerate ice melting, then use a wooden spatula or plastic scraper to remove it.
