Chest Freezer FAQ
A refrigerator is one of the few appliances in your home that runs continuously, day and night, keeping your food cold. If you consider how hard a refrigerator has to work, it is actually quite amazing that they break down so infrequently. Learn more about how to repair a freezer.
If you have an old refrigerator or one of the small dorm refrigerators, you know all about the frost that forms around the coils that cool the freezer. If you let it build up long enough, the frost can get 6 inches thick, and eventually there is no room to put anything in the freezer. A frost-free refrigerator combats this problem by heating the coils on a timed cycle. Learn more about how frost-free refrigerators work.
The home icemaker's predecessor was the plastic ice tray. It's fairly obvious how this device works: You pour water into a mold, leave it in the freezer until it turns to a solid and then extract the ice cubes. An icemaker does exactly the same thing, but the process of pouring water and extracting cubes is fully automated. A home icemaker is an ice-cube assembly line. Learn more about how icemakers work.
