frost free
Never needs defrosting
Frost free describes appliances—typically refrigerators and freezers—that automatically prevent ice buildup through periodic heating cycles that melt accumulated frost.
Before this technology became standard, users had to manually defrost freezers by emptying them and letting ice melt.
We finally replaced the old chest freezer with a frost-free model.
Also spelled frost-free.
