If you decide to defrost the refrigerator in summer, you can take advantage of the fan on. Positioned in front of the refrigerator, in fact, the fan will send hot air inside, melting the ice. Again, this is a method that can be slower than other direct methods. In addition, it is advisable to protect the floor with buckets or towels to collect the water that will inevitably drip from the refrigerator as a result of the melting of the ice.
Melting ice with a vacuum cleaner
It may seem strange, but the vacuum cleaner is a useful ally when it comes to defrosting the fridge. Be careful though, this method is only feasible if you use a vacuum capable of vacuuming up liquids. If that’s the case for you, you can start by blowing air on the ice. Then, switch to suction and remove any water and ice residue.
The use of the vacuum cleaner is similar to that of the hair dryer, with the difference that it is a little safer because there is no risk of putting an electrical cord in contact with the ice.
