Since it does not defrost, can you turn the freezer off separately from the refrigerator?

I don't think so. I can't see where it does, there is just one temp knob on the whole unit. I haven't had any real ice accumulation at all though

Edit: you could probably leave the freezer door open and it would defrost it that way

No, that is not an option. We emptied ours and put it outside in warmer weather overnight to defrost.

No you can't just put a bowl of water hot and it will defrost inside of freezer

Hi, it appears that the freezer compartment is the cooler for the entire fridge. The control knob is a part of the freezer but I can't be 100 % certain that there isn't a way to take it apart because it's completely frosted over right now and I can't inspect it properly! My guess is no. But you can use the freezer as regular fridge space for some things because it isn't all that cold. I put some ice cream in there and it got soft. It didn't melt and make a runny mess but it was not frozen.

It is a refrigerator only; no minute freezer compartment taking up space, hence no defrost required.

This model has to be manually defrosted. It does come with a small ice scraper, which if used regularly, keeps the ice build up to a minimum

It's a great freezer, we have ours now for nearly 3 years. But yes, it has to be defrosted from time to time. I used it to store breast milk and later homemade baby food. Thus it was opened/closed multiple times throughout the day. Each time new air and moisture enters they will be frozen.

This is not possible without disconnecting the refrigeration mechanism inside of the unit. Unless you know how, I would say no.

manual defrost and quite messy. have to empty the refrigerator of everything, shut it off. and line the shelves and floor with towels. I dont know of any little refrigerators that are self-defrosting.

Sure if you place the meat on it and leave it sitting on the counter. It will eventually defrost. But then again you can sit the meat on the counter without it and the same thing will happen.

You can turn it off! Or adjust the pressure to make it very subtle. But yes, you can turn it off separately.

It is a regular refrigerator/freezer. It does not have an icebox that needs to be defrosted.

You can leave it is the freezer as long as you like. Untill you want to use it.

Thank you for your interest in Goedeker's! This refrigerator does not allow for the defrost cycle to be turned off. It does, however, allow for it to be sped up.

Yes; however, I have not had to defrost it yet after having it in operating condition since June 27th. In searching for a compact fridge/freezer, I tried to find a frost-free but failed to find one in the cubic foot capacity size I wanted. I read reviews offered for the SPT and noticed comments about not having to constantly defrost this product. I liked it so much that I forfeited the feature of frost-free and am not disappointed so far with my choice. There has been a minimum of frost accumulated thus far.

Can I leave the unit in the bird bath to freeze overnight if I don't want to run it 24 hours?

I'm sorry dear, but I didn't purchase this fridge to experiment with it, I need it to keep my two insulins cool. Why would you need to turn it off? Are you transporting foods? Perhaps you should check out the DC switch and whether there is a transformer adapter you could use in the car. That's only a guess, since I use this for home use (A/C) only. I hope this helps you.

Sure. We just use ours as a fridge currently. You have the ability to make it cold enough to be a fridge or a freezer, but not both at the same time as it does not have a separate freezer compartment. You would have to use it as one or the other. Freezes great! We have used it both ways
