The frig has been running since August of 2013. How frequently should I expect to defrost it?
Well, unless you are in the very driest part of the country.. you should have done it at least one time already.
Depending on the weather I can go 1 to 3 months on mine.
Now,, I cheat, in addition to the fridge I have a "Cooler" (old fashion picnic cooler like a Coleman, Ice chest type. And an Engel chest freezer..
I wait till its almost time to go shopping IE Tomorrow is pay day, which I wish it was) Then I transfer all frozen food to the ENGLE and fill the cooler with other stuff I toss in some "Blue Ice" packs (The re-freezable things) which I get for free.. And turn OFF the fridge.. I will add a slight amount of heat (150 watts max) and keep the door open so things do not get too hot. While it's off remove all shelves and such and clean... Once the ice melts (Be prepareed for a flood) a bit I pull the back panel out of the freezer to improve thawing. Once it's all thawed Wash per manual directions with baking soda and water.. Re-assemble, Re-start, Re-load.
