Defrosting might help if your fridge isn’t cold enough due to excessive frost buildup in the freezer or around the evaporator coils. Here’s when defrosting can be beneficial: Frost Buildup: If you notice excessive frost inside the freezer or around the evaporator coils in the fridge, causing airflow blockage, defrosting can be helpful. Turn off the fridge, remove food, and let the ice melt naturally or use a gentle heat source like a hairdryer to speed up the process (be cautious to avoid damaging the fridge). Routine Maintenance: Periodic defrosting (if your fridge isn’t frost-free) can prevent excessive buildup and ensure optimal cooling efficiency. Doing this every few months can maintain your fridge’s performance.
