I saw a note on-line that you could wipe glycerol on the shelves. Does this work? My freezer is not the frost-free kind. And emptying it out and defrosting it every 6 months is a real chore.

First of all, your refrigerator is a cyclic process so do not put a twist tie on anything. The refrigerant needs to cycle through the entire system at a predetermined pressure, velocity, volumetric flow rate, disrupting this flow is very bad. The best way reduce the amount of frost buildup is to put something in the fridge that will help absorb moisture. Baking Soda is probably your best bet. Also, the reason your fridge frosts up is because moisture from the air and moisture in unwrapped foods or even moisture on stuff you put in the fridge gets trapped inside and builds up on the walls. Try the baking soda, and also try to wrap everything you put in the fridge.

the frost is probably caused by condensation which allows the ice crystals to form an easy fix would be some baking soda or anyother element to absorb the moisture maybe even just turning the thermostat to even colder could help if these fail see if you can adjust the flow of the coolant to the freezer and tinker with differant flow setting for the best result some fridges have controls if not just use a zip tie around the coolant hose not to tight or you may cuase to much back pressure and hae a big problem on your hands haha good luck

in reality, frost buildup in a freezer is led to by warmth, moist air transferring into. this can ensue in 2 methods. First, each and anytime you open the freezer, you enable hotter, outdoors air to blend with the chilly air in the freezer. This delivers to the frost buildup each and anytime the door is opened. the 2d reason is through leaking door gaskets. everywhere the position the gasket isn't tight hostile to the freezer is an section for heat air to get in continuously. i love the greenback bill attempt. Take a crisp greenback bill and stick it between the door gasket and the freezer. close the door and attempt to tug it out. If there is any resistance, the gasket is sturdy, yet when the bill pulls out freely, the gasket in that section isn't sealing. it would want to be properly worth your even as to substitute the door gasket. they are no longer that prime priced and could cut back the quantity of freezer frost buildup.

c if u have a good seal on the unit-be happy that it works this way- the self defroster are kinda subject to contaminating food when it sit totally thawed out between freezing sessions

Unplugging it should work.
