To defrost your refrigerator, you can follow these general steps:

Preparation:

 

Empty the refrigerator :

Remove all the food items from the refrigerator and place them in a cooler with ice packs or in a cool area.
Unplug the refrigerator: Locate the power cord of your refrigerator and unplug it from the electrical outlet. This ensures your safety during the defrosting process.

Speed up the process (optional):

If you want to speed up the defrosting process, you can place bowls of hot water or use a hairdryer on low heat to gently warm the interior of the freezer. Be cautious not to use excessive heat or forceful methods, as they can damage the refrigerator.

Defrosting:

Open the refrigerator doors and leave them open to allow the natural defrosting process to occur. You can place towels or absorbent cloths around the base of the refrigerator to catch any water that may drip during defrosting.

Remove excess ice:

Once the ice starts melting, you can manually remove any large chunks or sheets of ice using a plastic scraper or spatula. Be careful not to use sharp or metal objects that may damage the interior surfaces of the refrigerator.

Clean and dry:

Once all the ice has melted, clean the interior of the refrigerator using a mild detergent solution or a mixture of water and baking soda. Wipe down all the surfaces, including shelves, drawers, and walls. Rinse with clean water and dry thoroughly with a clean cloth.

Plug it back in:

After cleaning and drying, plug the refrigerator back into the electrical outlet.

Restock and organize:

Once the refrigerator is back to its operating temperature, return the food items to their respective places, ensuring proper organization and storage.
Remember, the defrosting process may take a few hours to complete, depending on the amount of ice buildup. It's essential to keep an eye on the refrigerator during this time and promptly address any issues or water accumulation.
