Defrosting the appliance Automatic refrigerator defrosting Refrigerator does not need defrosting because the ice on the back interior wall is thawed automatically. Any accumulated ice will melt when the compressor unit is inactive. Drops will flow through an opening in the refrigerator rear wall into a tray fitted above the compressor, from where they will evaporate. Make sure the opening in the back wall in the refrigerator interior is never blocked by food or any other object.
