As soon as the rainy season arrives, the most effect is seen on the electronic appliances of the house. Especially kitchen appliances, such as a refrigerator or freezer. Many people complain in this season that suddenly a mountain of ice forms in their freezer. This problem not only spoils the cooling of the freezer but also increases the power consumption. If you are also facing such a problem, then there is no need to panic. You can avoid this problem by using the freezer in the right mode.
Why does more ice form in the freezer?
During the rainy season, the humidity in the air increases a lot. When you open the freezer door repeatedly, the moisture from outside goes inside. This moisture freezes immediately on the cold surface of the freezer and gradually takes the form of a thick layer of ice. This is the reason why a pile of ice forms more quickly in the rainy season.
In which mode should the freezer be run?
Nowadays, most refrigerators come with frost-free technology. In such freezers, you get the option of "defrost mode" or "frost-free mode". Do use this mode during the rainy season. It automatically melts the excess ice accumulated inside the freezer and spreads the cold air evenly.
If you have an old model that does not have this feature, then the best way is to manually defrost the freezer once a week. For this, switch off the freezer, open the door, let the ice melt, and then wipe the moisture inside with a clean cloth and turn it on again.
What will be the benefits?
The cooling of the freezer will be better.
The food items will remain fresh for a longer time.
Power consumption will be less.
The life of the freezer will also be longer.
Things to keep in mind
Avoid opening the freezer door repeatedly.
Do not stuff too much inside, so that the air can circulate properly.
Do not keep moist items like hot utensils or open containers directly in the freezer.
In simple words, it is very important to run the freezer in the right mode during the rainy season and clean it from time to time. By doing this, there will be no problem of ice mountain formation and your freezer will continue to run smoothly without any problem.
