Defrosting the built-up ice in a freezer is only part of the solution. The other part involves flushing any mold from the drainage tubing from the freezer to the evaporator tray underneath the fridge which caused the water backup and freezing to occur. Alan Beck uses a steam cleaner for this purpose. Of course you could do it yourself with the right equipment and knowledge.
