Our freezer is in the garage and I use the boiling water in a kettle
method. Could you put boiling water in a crock pot turned on high?

Husband once showed me how to defrost our former freezer with a hair
dryer. It worked well except he melted one of the door shelves enough
so it sagged a few inches. I went back to boiling water.
