EcoRenovator - View Single Post - Efficiency Impact of Defrosting a Chest Freezer

I gotta say, I was really hoping to see more then 5% from the defrost job. I think the main reason it wasn't as horrible as I thought was because the ice wasn't covering the entire inside surface. It was built up very thick, but just in a smaller area.

Hopefully the next idea will help out more.

Has anyone else ever measured their freezer power consumption and seen what tweaking will do for you?
