How to Easily Defrost a Mini Fridge with Ice Built Up in Freezer! Instructions & Tips (Igloo FR320)

[@aquaopa1]

Super helpful! I defrosted my fridge in my work office! Had a beach towel and bowl to collect the melting water. Also realized I had my fridge set to 7 (the highest setting). Once the ice melted enough for me to take the large chunks out (it was huge!). I did as you (and the manual you read) suggested and set my fridge to 4. Its running great and keeping my things cold. Thanks for the tutorial!

Oh man thank you for this video, wife and I had a mini fridge in our room for drinks n such and I tried beating the ice out the freezer with a hammer lmao I busted the coolant hose or whatever was in there. Just recently got a new mini fridge and decided it was time I looked up how to properly defrost it lol thanks again for the video!

[@DIYNate]

Sorry to hear that the first fridge went down in a tough fashion, but appreciate you letting me know the video was helpful and good call on not taking a hammer to it for the new one! Appreciate your comment and thanks for watching! - DIYNate

[@8535eddie]

After years of practice, I emptied the fridge, unplugged it, set out a boat load of towels, and went to bed. When I woke up, I’ve was gone, with just some wet towels. Plugged it back in,,,, boom easy.

[@DIYNate]

Great to hear the de-thaw worked well for you and you are back in business! Thanks for your comment and for watching the video! - DIYNate

[@Billkwando]

If you have soaking wet towels, DO NOT THROW THEM IN THE DRYER. Hang them outside or put them in the washer first. Driers aren't meant to handle large amounts of water, and it will burn out the motor from the effort. Ask me how I know. 🤣😂🤣😂🤣

[@DIYNate]

Good call on not throwing a heaping pile of wet into a dryer for it to do all the work - wringing them out or letting them dry ahead of a time is a good idea! Hopefully, your ice from your minifridge doesn't create that much water but it certainly could and when in doubt, best to not make your dryer do too much work! Thanks for sharing, Bill! - DIYNate

[@Billkwando]

@@DIYNate Not likely, but just in case!

[@richierich007007]

Just wring out the towels before placing in dryer and they should dry nicely in the dryer. Ask me how I know ? …cuz I’m SMART ! 😂

Take no offense lol! The kid renting a room from me was over loading the washer. It was able to spin everything out. He then put the heavy clothes in the dryer 😳 He understands now, but 😬 it’s awesome I happened in when I did!

[@madonnahagedorn5649]

My ice was so thick that I unplugged it, set it to zero and took it outside. I used not hot but warm water to start the melting. It helped. Big pieces came off as I tapped at it. I don't have a manual so I hope this little frig will survive my method of getting the ice out. Next time I will be more patient and let it melt naturally. I put the ice in the garden bed. Thanks for the video.

[@DIYNate]

That makes sense to me - it can be a bit of a wait so hot water or (carefully) a hair dryer or heat gun could do the trick as well. They caution on tapping the insides for fear of puncturing some of the cooling parts but if you are careful, shouldn’t be a problem. Thanks for your comment and for watching! - DIYNate

[@rainpain3655]

Just got myself a koolatron mini fridge with a defrost button and the instructions confuses me. It says to unplug when defrosting to avoid a electrical shock but says press the defrost button in the middle of the temperature control knob and the fridge will begin to defrost. When the defrosting has ended, the thermostat will switch on automatically, and the fridge will start working again. Like how would i need to press the defrost button if i need to unplug the fridge? I don't know if its just bad English but I just want to make sure because I don't want to screw up my fridge.

[@DIYNate]

Hmm... Not really sure but does sound like bad english or poorly thought out process. I would probably just unplug and manually defrost. It may be that they also have more of an automatic defrost, but I think if you unplug it without pressing the button, leave the door opoen, soak up the water, then turn back ojn, you will be good to go. Good luck! - DIYNate

Is there a way to do it without destroying all my food inside?

[@DIYNate]

Really, you are probably going to need to move fast, or you could pack a cooler, put your food in it while you defrost your fridge, then move it back. It is a bit tricky to defrost a fridge while you have food you want to save, but having a secondary location for the food temporarily is probably your best bet. Heat gun, hair dryer, hot pot of water, etc. can help speed up the process if you need to go fast. Thanks for the comment / question! - DIYNate

We have one in our office. When the ice accumulates like yours, we let it sit in the loading dock (you could do it in your backyard) propped open and tilted forward over the weekend. Usually dry by Monday morning...

[@DIYNate]

For sure - if you aren’t in a hurry, letting it naturally melt and drain is a great fix! Just did the same with one on my in-law’s boat dock that had an ice brick in it and just drained it after letting it melt in the hot temperatures. Thanks for the comment - good suggestion! - DIYNate

What’re some signs that you punctured refrigerant tubing?

He answered almost everyone else except you, what a guy.

[@DIYNate]

Hey there - sorry for the slow reply! I am guessing you punctured the refrigerant area and not sure if that did permanent damage or not. Honestly, I haven't checked into how to fix that but my first step would be to google (I would be thinking of a quick patch solve like some type of hardening putty/glue/solder but there may be a lot of safety reasons to not go that route (by no means am I qualified to weigh in on that type of repair). Hope you were able to get it repaired or replaced and it is now cooling for you. Good luck! - DIYNate

[@theobnoxiousgamer9624]

Does your fridge cool and freez things better now without needing a higher setting?

[@DIYNate]

Yes - it definitely cools better and functions better without a heavy layer of ice. Hope you have similar results with your fridge! - DIYNate

[@orcapham4471]

I poked a small hole on the tray. What should i do? Is it repairable?

[@DIYNate]

Unfortunately, I am not really sure what the hole type is that may have been poked. Good luck with a repair but not sure if that is something that can be fixed or not. Maybe some type of JB weld or some other patching / glue / solder, but I am certainly not qualified to diagnose that repair or situation. Good luck on the fix or replacement! - DIYNate

Do i unplug the fridge ?

[@DIYNate]

Yes - I would unplug the fridge first before dealing with water from melting ice and electricity, just to be safe. Thanks! - DIYNate

[@sbaustx]

@@DIYNate thank you sir

[@areguapiri]

Wouldn't it be faster if you unplugged the fridge to defrost it?

[@DIYNate]

Hi - thanks for the comment! Yes - it is probably a good idea to unplug since dealing with electricity and melted ice becomes water. The 0 cooling setting should essentially be the off setting as well, but probably wise to go ahead and unplug the fridge as an additional caution and to make sure there is no additional cooling happening to speed up the process. - DIYNate

[@theobnoxiousgamer9624]

Just moved into a tiny apartment, fridge was so frozen over I couldn’t even open the flap as the layer of ice was so thick it was blocking it from behind. Couldn’t even fit anything inside of it either. It was like yours on the left side of the freezer except mine was about 1/2 inch thicker and covered up the whole right side too where the dial is. Lol no idea how old this fridge is but I could tell it was never defrosted.

[@DIYNate]

Hopefully, it acts like a new fridge after you defrost it - haha! Sounds like it may take a little while for the ice to melt but that should be a big help going forward. Good luck! - DIYNate

[@4katchupwoman]

Nate, I Have an Igloo Mini Frig FR100/FR115/FR180. I Want to Disconnect My Freezer Compartment Only. It’s Useless and I No Longer Us it. How Can I Just Disconnect the Freezer Compartment Only? Thanks Nate

[@DIYNate]

My best advice on that would be to try and contact the manufacturer and check the manual / specs to see if the freezer compartment can be disconnected. Often, the cooling components are routed through the freezer area and meant to be part of the system (at least from what I can tell). The manufacturer (or other people trying this on Google / KZbin) may be your best bet to finding out if it is feasible or if you will jeopardize your fridge by making the modification. Good luck and best wishes! - DIYNate

[@chadmckeighan6726]

Put hot water in bowls inside the fridge (heat rises and will melt the block). After a half hour, open the door and the block should come out in big pieces. Easy, less cleanup, and fast...

[@DIYNate]

Not a bad call to do that as well - good thought! Appreciate you commenting and I am sure others who read this may also see this idea and consider trying that out. Thanks for adding this! - DIYNate

[@pauljs75]

The issue with those things is an inherent design flaw, because moisture from the non-frozen section is allowed to go into the freezer zone. If it had separate compartments like the full size refrigerators have, then this kind of thing would be somewhat rare. Other than that, the utility of the appliance is nice. Just would be better if the companies making them didn't cheap out on some things.

[@DIYNate]

Good comment there - thanks for sharing your thoughts. It does seem to be a pretty common situation most of us face in the life of a mini-fridge regardless of brand! Best, DIYNate

[@DanMorera]

Hey was setting 4 cold enough for your beer? I got my mini fridge (different brand) cranked all the way up as you did , this makes me think I would be OK at a lower setting. What do you think?

[@DIYNate]

Hey Dan - yea, I think my beer is still pretty cold at the middle setting but I do love a frigid beer as well so that is probably a tricky one depending how cold you like it. Might be worth testing it out and if you opt to keep it at the coldest setting, just be prepared to thaw more often. Best of luck! - DIYNate

[@DanMorera]

@@DIYNate I ended up buying a thermometer and sticking it in the warmest part of the fridge and use it for reference, I'm also keeping it at 4 like you did and then on the weekends I crank it up a bit if I know I am having a few beers. Thanks for your reply

[@shahzadeshtiak]

Beer is supposed to be consumed 'cool' and NOT 'chilled'!

[@devonmitchell2269]

Any idea what the tiny white cord in the fridge is for

[@DIYNate]

I think that cord has electrical wires running to the freezer compartment (best guess). At first, I wondered if it was a drain line but don’t think that is it since the MFG made it sound like the fridge doesn’t have a drain by default (even though it has a drain port in the back).

[@photondebuger45]

I did mine today it's a tiny one but I had a fat hunk of ice in it let it melt for a moment and just poked at the ice GENTLY!!!! and it came off. Imma do that the next time that happens again or if it's getting humid again.

hi there brother...just helped a friend defrost their bar fridge. under the freezer compartment, I removed the tray and a cooling wire with a clip on part fell out. Does it go under the freezing compartment or does it sit on the tray under the freezer?

[@DIYNate]

Hello Arnold - hate to say it but I am not too familiar with the clip you are mentioning. My hunch is the wire / clip probably do not go in the tray since that is probably there to collect defrost water and electrical with water is not a good idea. Just a guess though. Good luck! - DIYNate

thanks a lot bro. i managed to fix the problem. it was just a loose clip wire that is connected to the freezing pipes for the freezer. much appreciated. cheers man.

[@salmajaleel5800]

Hi, my friend said that it's not safe to keep meat/chicken in the freezer part of the mini-fridge for more than 5 days because they're not sealed well. Is that true?

[@DIYNate]

Not sure about that. Seems like it would be as effective as any other freezer to me so long as the freezer isn’t fluctuating between freezing and significantly below freezing. You could check with the manufacturer for their opinion. A seal issue would be a problem in most freezers - allowing things to dethaw and freeze again.

[@saniyafowler4366]

How do I make my mini fridge have that ice in the freezer compartment

[@DIYNate]

Haha - well, if you actually want that kind of ice buildup in your mini-fridge freezer, you could crank the fridge to its highest setting and see if you can get that kind of buildup, but I believe the manufacturers will tell you to keep it below 1/4 of an inch. If you are wanting a way to make some ice in your freezer then you could try a variation of this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a4bGoHqfmMqrrLM Thanks for the comment and good luck!

I should check my fridge” and it’s leaking all over the floor, also I haven’t kept anything in this fridge for like a few months, but then I had to find a bunch of towels, and there also was a bunch of just hardest soy sauce (from a bottle that cracked) and so soy sauce water was coming out from everywhere and the table my mini fridge was on was soaked.

[@DIYNate]

Sorry to hear about the mess! It sounds like your fridge needed a defrost and that would explain all the water. Once you have dried it out and cleaned it up, it should work much better for you.

Depending on your mini-fridge size, the freezer space may accommodate for ice cream in there (or cut the box / container size down some).

A good practice is to put a couple towels in the fridge while the door is open and one on the floor where any excess would come out.
