Anyone with a Costco membership knows it’s nearly impossible to leave the store without a few extra things that aren’t necessarily on “the list”. Sometimes it’s a lot more than just a few. If you have a large family, chances are you’re leaving Costco with a trunk full of bulk items – many of which are frozen. Stocking up on extra chicken breasts, pizzas, and even bread you intend to freeze is an economical way to feed your family, but you can’t do that if your freezer is on the fritz. Coming home with bags of frozen food only to find out your freezer isn’t keeping its cool isn’t just frustrating. It can result in a huge loss, as food thaws and spoils.

Before you run into problems with your freezer, treat it right. Start by defrosting it. This will do away with any icy build-ups that could be disrupting the circulation of cold air in the cabinet, which would cause your freezer to work harder than it should. This should be done twice a year to remove any accumulated ice. It will also give you the opportunity to clean out your freezer once the ice is removed. It’s a good idea to wash down your freezer with warm water and soap to remove any frozen food debris. Be sure to use a toothbrush to get into hard-to-reach areas like the door.
Once your freezer is spick and span, you can adjust your freezer’s temperature to ensure it’s running at its highest efficiency. In order to store food safely, your freezer should set to -18 degrees Celsius. If you think that you freezer’s internal gauge is acting up, you can always test the temperature by placing a thermometer between frozen items for a full day. To further increase the efficiency of your freezer, make sure to keep it full. A fully packed freezer will help keep the cabinet to its set temperature.
These simple tips go a long way to keeping your freezer as cool as it’s supposed to be, but when things start heating up, you have our information.
