Aluminum is an excellent conductor of thermal energy. By lining the walls of your freezer with foil, you create a surface that helps distribute cold more evenly. More importantly, when it is time to clean, the ice sticks to the foil rather than the plastic walls of the appliance, making removal a 5-minute task instead of a 5-hour ordeal.
Step-by-Step Instructions:
The Final Deep Clean: Perform one last traditional defrost. Turn off the unit, melt the ice, and—most importantly—dry the walls completely.
Measure and Cut: Cut sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil to fit the back and side walls of your freezer compartments.
Apply the Lining: Smooth the foil against the dry walls. The natural moisture in the air will eventually create a slight seal, holding it in place. Ensure you do not cover the air intake vents or the light.
Organize: Place your drawers and food back in.
The Result: Maintenance Made Easy
The next time you notice a bit of frost, you won’t need a hairdryer or a scraper.
Simply pull out the sheet of foil.
The ice will come off with the foil in one large piece.
Wipe the wall with a dry cloth and replace it with a fresh sheet of foil.
