Wow you really helped me! It worked perfectly! All in all it took me about 2 hours from start to finish and now my freezer is beautifully arranged with its contents,
Thank you so much ❤
So glad to hear it!
Thank you so much for sharing! I’ve been procrastinating this job because I thought it would be an all day ordeal! Definitely going with the pot of boiling water! Thank you!
Just drive it outside (most have wheels), in the summer, let the ice melt..and then wash it with the garden hose...That's why I do :)
Besides the obvious freezer condition issues (rust spots), NEVER use metal implements to scrape the ice. You can easily damage the freezer. Use a plastic ice scraper, like the one you use on your car windshield. Make sure you disinfect ( I use diluted bleach and then rinse thoroughly afterward) to eliminate any mold from food residue..
is there any way to remove the rust. i have a few minor places and would like to keep it from spreading in my artic king? thanks.
I'd also like to add that the metal tool the child was using was a wood chisel. A heavy and EXTREMELY sharp tool that would make mincemeat of either plastic or the thin metal lining of the freezer. Definitely use a plastic scraper if you want to protect the longevity of your freezer.
@@karronlaneNOLACLA or a rust remover
Do you unplug the deep freezer
@@tamaragabriel4867 yes, always
Thank you! I’m going to do this today🎉 ❤
YOU MUST UNPLUG THE FREEZER WHEN DOING THIS!!!!
Thank you so much and God bless. Im going to do mine this weekend.
GREAT SIMPLE WAY to defost! Thanks for posting this video!
Thanks I did this morning! It worked perfectly. I removed the ice very easily and there wasn’t very much water at all at the bottom. Much Thanks!
Watching ppl hack away and use a hair fryer seemed difficult. I'm doing it your way!
You did mean hair dryer?
This is how my grandmother showed me to clean a deep freezer.
Glad I came across your video, because I was really trying to figure out how to do this. My mom did it the old fashion way. But one question, if you don't have a wet vacuum, what do you suggest I can do to get the excess water out?
Some deep freezers have a plug that you can open and let it drain out. Or just sop it up with a towel.
@@mysillysquirts2907 At 2:08, the drain pug in this freezer is visible!
i used a towel to soak up water, wring out, and repeat. it went pretty fast.
Thats so “old school” used to watch my mom do the same thing to our refrigerator freezer (above fridge)
Very poorly shown! You have to unplug it. And, you need to use a wooden or plastic scraper ( this usually comes with the freezer unit).
Thanks for sharing! I’ve been putting off this job for way too long because I thought it would be a long drawn out process. Thanks again!!
Thank you for sharing however I use several possible and hot water and my freezer is about the same size. Unfortunately the ice was just as thick as ever I'm on my third part as we speak hopefully this ice will be melted enough to fall off with a little pressure
Thank you! One question, do you have to switch off the power during this process? My first time cleaning a chest freezer, excuse me my ignorance pls.
Absolutely! Otherwise, you will kill the it.
Yes definitely. I was wondering this too haha
Yes you do. Having it plugged in while doing this can overheat it. Also the ice is less likely to melt with it plugged in
Yes!
Thanks for this
Thx for sharing ❤️
Awesome tips thanks
How often do you need to defrost your freezer? I have never had a chest freezer, and am considering getting one.
Probably once or twice per year
Suppose to every 6 months.
Thanks
just did mine, but much quicker and easier than this. I just unplugged the freezer, took all the food out. After a few minutes the ice doesn't stick to the sides, so it can be scraped off with a plastic putty knife. Then use the shop vac to suck out all the ice. No need to melt it first, as it's really easy to vacuum up the ice. Wipe the freezer dry with a clean cloth and put everything back in. Less than 15 minutes, start to finish. I do it every few month, so the ice doesn't get too built up.
Awesome! Thanks for the tips
Thanks! I’m trying this at the moment!
That is a well used chest freezer.
You are being kind! Mold and bugs? Yikes!
@@schauneille My thoughts exactly. No way I'm storing my food in there. Respectfully.
Thanks! This is an awesome idea!
Genius! Thank you!
Thanks!
Glad to help!
So how do you put a big pot of water down in there without getting burned.🧐
Put the empty pot inside the freezer.. then add hot water.. 😎
@@berniemac8413 thanks and glad to have you back and alive! 💞🤣
Thank you, very helpful video
Do you have to put anything under the pot of boiling water?
You can put a hot pad if you want just to be careful
Thanks for your great tips 👍
Thanks for this! Now to get a wet vac 😂
What if you don't have a wet vac?
You could soak it up with a towel. The wet vac is just more convenient.
Theres a drainage plug in the bottom of the freezer , hook a hose to outside knob and drain into bucket
I just about puked when I saw the kid start hacking the walls with that frikkin SUPER SHARP WOOD CHISEL! ONE LITTLE PIERCING OF THE WALL AND YOUR FREEZER IS JUST A USELESS BOX!
Did you unplug the freezer?
you must unplug for safety.
The ice on the inside was so thick that I always thought the walls of my freezer were white....turns out the walls were silver and thats how long its been since I seen them.
Wow you sure do keep a filthy freezer
Omg!! Really Judge Judy ?? There are so many other things to worry about than her dang freezer. 🤦🏻♀️
don't use a sharp metal chisel, use a plastic putty knife. geez
Uhhh, hopefully you bought a new freezer…
Just point a ventilator to the freezer and you will get rid ice even faster.
Thank you!!!!!!
Easier way if your freezer is outside is take a water hose and all the ice comes off in minutes! 😊that freezer was nasty ..
Worked perfectly! Thanks 🤗
It’s so
Dirty inside
That's what
Happens bud
You need a new freezer! That one looks like it came from the Clampetts yard sale in 1960... it needs chucking!!
Y’all are gross people, I think this was a great video! This video will help many ppl, including myself. Your comment helped no 1. She took out time to share HER experience. This is amazing!
It’s a garage freezer. So long as it gets to temp why would you toss it? It’s not unclean, just old 🙄
That’s a really gross freezer
nasty!
Get a steam gun
Thanks for sharing but what if i don't have a wet vac and some advice for you next time clean your freezer it just didnt need to be defrost it needed to be deep cleaned, it looked like dirt, bugs, blood from meat so unsanitary especially for you to even have food in it in the 1st place thats very disguisting and should be embarrassing to you period
She's storing sealed food in it, not licking it, for goodness sakes. Get over yourself.
That is one more nasty rusty looking freezer I would buy a new one and throw that one away
That freezer is filthy ..ur better off leaving all that frost at least it covering up how dirty it is.....🤮 throw the whole thing a please....
