Why does a self defrosting freezer have frost?

It is possible that the defrost timer is bad or that there is a leaking gasket on the door. IF the frost appears far in the freezer, it is probably the defrost timer. If the frost is built up near the inside edges of the door, the gasket is loose or bad


Why is my Fridge warm but the freezer is cold?

If it is a "frost free" fridge-freezer, try DEFROSTING IT. Ice can build up out of site and stop cold air circulating in fridge. I had this problem and after defrosting it now works fine.


What happens when a hard rubber ball is rubbed by wool?

Rubbing wool on the ball transfers electrons (negatively charged) from the wool to the ball. The excess charge builds up and produces static electricity.


Why is it not vital to keep the lid of a chest freezer closed?

Any freezer needs to be kept closed as much as possible if you wish for it to remain cold. However a chest freezer will not warm up as fast as an upright freezer. This is because the cold air in the freezer is heavier than the air outside of the freezer. When you open an upright freezer the cold air "falls" out, this can't happen with a chest freezer.


What will happen if you put a shaken up bottle of soda in the freezer for a while then take it out will it still explode?

umm it depends how long it is in the freezer and if it still not frozen it will explode but if you keep it in the freezer and it will turn to ice and it wont explode. umm it depends how long it is in the freezer and if it still not frozen it will explode but if you keep it in the freezer and it will turn to ice and it wont explode.

How do you keep freezer from over frosting?

1 Use a frost-free freezer. Frost-free freezers are freezers that are temperature-controlled in order to keep frost from developing in the freezer in the first place.2 Place and use a dehumidifier in the room where you have your freezer set up, if you notice your freezer has frost buildup on days when there is high humidity. A high humidity level in the air is likely the problem if you notice frost build up in your freezer during the summer months.3 Close the doors to the freezer at all times. If you notice the doors to the freezer don't close securely when you push them shut, make sure it is secure. Also, keep children from standing with the freezer door open when they aren't getting something out of the freezer in order to keep warm air that contains moisture out of the freezer. When the doors to the freezer finally close, the moisture in the warm air instantly freezes and creates frost.4 Adjust the temperature in the freezer to a lower level. When you see frost building up in your freezer, it is often caused by too high of a temperature in the freezer unit. By adjusting the temperature to a lower level, you can eliminate the frost build up.5 Clean your refrigerator to keep frost from building up. If you keep moisture and dirt out of your freezer, these materials can't turn into frost.


My food in the freezer looks like it has been snowing in there. Can anyone tell my why?

This is freezer frost. What happens, essentially, is that on a warm or humid day when you open the freezer a lot -- or more commonly when you accidentally leave it ajar (when the edge of a package gets stuck in the seal as you close it, for example) -- condensation builds up as warm, humid air hits the cold, dry air inside. It collects on the inside surfaces. This condensation then quickly re-freezes from the cold of the freezer itself or the frozen food under it, and it forms this "snow". Unless you have a frost-free freezer that automatically prevents this, you should defrost a freezer a couple times a year (as the ice builds up) by emptying it and turning it off for a day. Once it's clean and dry, put the food back in. Obviously, try to do it when there's not much perishable food to deal with. A self-defrosting freezer uses special "evaporation coils" to aggressively pull the moisture out of the air, keeping this buildup from occurring.

What is the difference between frost free and auto defrost in a freezer?

A frost-free freezer regulates the temperature at a level to prevent the build-up of too much frost - so that it should never need defrosting by the user. The internal temperature is low enough to keep the food frozen - but not low enough to allow a build-up of frost. An auto-defrost freezer allows a layer of frost to build up over time - when it reaches a preset level - the appliance raises the temperature enough for the frost to melt (but maintains the working temperature to keep the food frozen).

What freezer preserve food better frost free or non frost free?

Frost-free freezers tend to preserve food better because they prevent the build-up of frost and ice, which can lead to freezer burn and deterioration of the food quality over time. The automatic defrosting feature in frost-free freezers helps maintain a more consistent temperature, which is crucial for preserving the quality of frozen foods.
