Having a freezer is only the first step. You have to keep it in good working order, too. This means ensuring that it is cleaned out regularly and that you defrost it. Otherwise, it will become filled with ice.

Most of the time, you will only need to defrost annually. However, if it builds up a lot of ice, you might need to defrost sooner. The general rule of thumb is that you should defrost whenever the ice is more than a quarter of an inch thick.
