The fridge freezes up because of this - four simple tricks solve it easily and cut your electricity bill by more than half

Fridge freezing up - I'm sure everyone has dealt with this annoyance. In summer, when the fridge is set too high, the water left behind by food and the cold storage compartment easily form thick layers of ice, and cleaning it out is exhausting and leaves your hands aching from the cold! Do you know why the fridge freezes up? How do you get rid of this ice? Today let's tackle this problem.

Actually, this is caused by the internal structure aging after the fridge has been used for a long time. 3 simple tricks can remove this ice!

1. Electric fan

I'm sure everyone has an electric fan at home. We can put the electric fan in front of the frozen area and turn it to the highest setting, and the ice will melt, so we don't have to wear ourselves out chipping away at it.

2. Salt

Sprinkle a layer of table salt on the thick ice. Salt speeds up the melting of ice - in winter, many people spread salt on the roads, and it's the same principle. This phenomenon is fairly common in Northeast China, since the snow and wind in the north are quite enchanting. As a southerner, this writer actually looks forward to snowy days.

3. Coating with oil

After defrosting the fridge, you should also take some protective measures, such as applying a protective coating. First use a towel to wipe dry the moisture inside the fridge, then apply a layer of oil, preferably vegetable oil. The next time the fridge freezes up, we'll be able to remove the ice quickly.

4. Plastic wrap

The fridge freezes easily - so why not just line the fridge shelves? Exactly. After cleaning the fridge, tear open unused plastic bags, or just use kitchen cling wrap, and use the cold air inside the fridge to stick a layer of film over all the inner surfaces. Then next time you clean, you can just peel off this film and wipe it clean, and it can be used multiple times without waste.
