Back in the very old days when I served on Coast Guard ships, the Chronometer was wound every day at noon.
So now, every day at noon I turn our Norcold off for 15 seconds and back on. Resets the defrost time cycle. Yep, never defrosts. I can go a month that way and by then we're usually home. If not, I've started carrying a little gardening tank sprayer that's dedicated to Water Only use. I spray the fins with that fine spray and make sure the drain is flowing outside.
