I Can Hardly Contain Myself
Last night, on a whim, I decided to defrost my freezer. What's that? Feh, keep your snide comments about what normal people would do on a whim, clever person.
I've been meaning to do it for some time, but my usual stock of frozen meals makes it hard to clear the whole thing out. Even being a small appliance, my freezer holds a lot of meals. At 105 liters net capacity, I'd guess it's half again the size of the freezer compartment in a full-sized American refrigerator. Which are built for families of four, so you do the math.
Anyway, it was actually pretty impressive. I did a bit of judicious and gentle coaxing for the better part of the ice. The last piece, however, unceremoniously fell of its own volition about a half an hour after I'd pulled the shelves out.
Warming up fast may not be the best attribute for a freezer in the event, say, of a power failure. But considering that I'd pulled out all the drawers, and the shelves are very thin metal sheets, I'd say it's deigned to do just that in the event of defrosting jobs like this one. Besides, normally it doesn't have any problem at all keeping things rock-solid frozen without much humming.
Well, that was exciting. I'll be sure to keep you in the loop when I scrub clean my bathroom grout.
