Frost buildup in direct-cool refrigerators is normal, but if the frost layer exceeds 5mm, defrosting is required. Here's a safe defrosting guide from XiaoYiJiang: **Quick Defrost Method:** 1. Move food to an insulated cooler beforehand. 2. Unplug the power and open the refrigerator door. 3. Place bowls of hot water in the freezer to speed up melting. 4. Gently scrape off loose ice with a plastic scraper. 5. Wipe away moisture with a dry towel. 6. Apply a thin layer of cooking oil on the interior walls to delay future frost buildup. **Do Not:** - Use metal tools to chip ice—this can puncture the evaporator. - Blow hot air directly with a hairdryer—this may deform plastic parts. - Rinse internal electrical components directly with water. **Daily Tips to Prevent Frost:** - Let hot food cool before placing it in the fridge. - Minimize the frequency and duration of opening the door. - Seal food tightly to reduce moisture evaporation. - Regularly check door seal integrity. - Avoid setting the temperature too low. XiaoYiJiang Reminder: If your refrigerator frequently develops thick frost, it may indicate worn door seals or a faulty thermostat.
