That's correct. And the right way to de-ice a freezer. by Lizard_King 07/13/2007, 6:13am PDT
I initially adopted the "poke with screwdriver so I can be done before my beer gets warm" approach. Naturally, this ended in a (harmless) facefull of freon, and I had to go steal another fridge from an unoccupied barracks room after my repair request did nothing for 2 weeks.

Since then, I've learned the correct method is to empty out the fridge, disconnect it, take it outside if possible (but not necessary), and then keep swapping out towels soaked in hot water from the ice buildups. Eventually, depending on ambient temperature, you'll be able to break off big pieces of ice with minimal effort. Think of it as a fun opportunity to drink as much beer as you can and clean your fridge, all at once. The other approaches are just not worth the hassle of fixing a fridge.
