Defrosting a 3 way fridge

[Odd-no-more]

We've been away for 5 weeks and the fridge needs defrosting, any suggestions?

Just turn it off

Turn it off, open the door and put a container to catch the water or a cloth to soak it up.

That's all I do, except put a wedge to keep the top freezer compartment open and put a thick towel in the bottom to soak up the water to save it from soaking onto the floor!

Same as you do at home with a domestic fridge.

I haven't defrosted a fridge in years

I used to use a mini USB fan, speeds up the process great and it also wedges the freezer door open.

What's the hurry, just open the door, wedge freezer door and deploy the towel.
Think of the planet!

I need to get the fridge back working ASAP to keep the food cool, I'm wishing I'd brought my hair dryer

Just put it in the sun.

Opps! Sorry I forgot, your not in East Anglia.

 

[Winger]

Put in a saucepan of boiling water to speed up the process

 

[The Wino]

Put in a saucepan of boiling water to speed up the process

And swap it for another when it cools down

Or a candle?

Or a candle?

Or four candles…

Buy a couple of freezer bags and a couple of freezer "bricks". Freeze the bricks, decant the food to the bags, add the bricks, put the bags in the coolest place in the MoHO (or even under it) defrost the fridge (as per above methods) - Job done

 

[Jev88]

If you need a faster defrost there are sprays you can use to speed things up but we are rarely in that much of a rush when camping

 

[IRHP]

It's just a fridge, switch it off and leave it. Open the door to speed it up.

I finally did it today, all good but hoping it gets cold before the ice packs in the cool bag melt
