A li'l tip on defrosting -- if it is not too far off topic for this
group ;-Q

Next time you do a complete freezer defrosting, including wiping dry
the inerior walls. Before repacking and turning the machine back
on,spray the entire insides -- walls, roof, bottom, with a "Pam" or
other cooking spray. Best the type that uses both oil and flour.

James, that sounds absolutely disgusting. Surely you jest.

It really takes just minutes. I used to spend hours with pans of hot
water, hair dryer, towels on the floor, frozen foods getting warm in
a cooler chest while waiting to return to their home, etc.

Hours? Hours? I do a 20cf upright in less than an hour, Dude.



Then remember before resocking and turning it on again, spray the
walls again.

I shudder at the thought.



eh voila!

An hour!? You poor dear. My method takes about 5 minutes, after the
waiting time. But then, you have nothing but time on your hands.
pbbst

Then, there's this friend whom I kept bugging to periodically empty
the basket in his ice maker, because the old ice was a frozen lump,
including encasing the wire "trip" control. He didn't. heed my wise
advise. He spent (wouldn't tell me how much) in calling in a repair
man and new parts. snap
