Most of the cold is in the solids and liquids though.

That wonderful feeling of the cool gas leaking out leads people to overestimate how much cold falls out.

Some more modern fridges/freezers halt the compressor/blower when the door is open which probably accomplishes more savings.



I presume that turning over the air probably causes more icing in the freezer.

Does a chest freezer have less of a problem with icing? And are they easier to deice?

Modern freezers have automatic defrosting systems so maybe moot...


It is kind of neat to watch the frost ring descend from the top of the chest freezer lower and lower along the walls.

It is pretty easy to scrape off, too.
