How often should I defrost my Frigidaire Upright Freezer?

[DelGianna]

To keep your Frigidaire Upright Freezer running efficiently, defrosting frequency isn't fixed and depends on several factors. These include your local humidity, how often you open the freezer door and for how long, the moisture content of the food you store, and how well the door seal works. A good rule of thumb is to defrost when frost builds up to about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. This can vary based on your usage. To minimize frost, keep the freezer door closed as much as possible, as this prevents warm, moist air from entering. Also, package and seal foods properly before freezing them. For detailed instructions on defrosting and maintaining your Frigidaire Upright Freezer, always refer to your owner's manual.
