    Mixed a thick paste of stuff i thought might work: baking powder, a bit of oxy-action(?) washing-powder, dish-soap, isopropyl alcohol & water.

    I then applied it with an old toothbrush and let it sit for 5 mins before wiping it off.

    Not sure which of those ingredients did the trick 🤷🏼‍♂️

    Tip for quickly defrosting for anyone who wants to do this: get a few pans of water to the boil. Take everything out of your freezer. Turn it off, put the boiling pans of water in on top of some old towels (I stress: with pan! Don't pour it!). Close the freezer and wait 10-15 minutes. The hot steam will quickly defrost your freezer, faster than your stuff will thaw. Fit as many pans as you can, don't let the hot steam out, and repeat if the water cools but there's still ice. It's fast but messy. Use plenty of old towels!

    I would suggest not doing this if you have glass shelving in your freezer. You'd probably only want to do this with a thick plastic that won't shatter from thermal shock of putting the hot pot/pan on some towels.

    Thats awesome! Don't forget to clean the condenser coils and fins. Lol I did the coils, but, not, the seals yet on mine. Had to pull the fridge out to clean broken glass. I saw your cleaning solution in the comments, I'm going to have to borrow that.

    I’ve been thinking I should do that.

    I didn’t think they even made non-frost-free freezers anymore. Am I wrong or is this just an old reliable freezer?

    I cleaned the gutters on my rental duplex because every time it rained, the rain would just splash off the roof.

    I have never had to defrost a freezer. Doesn't that mean that something is wrong with the freezer?
