asked on 

best ways to manage frost in freezer

We can replace the current freezer with a new no-frost freezer
to solve this but assuming I'm not prepared to replace it yet,
what can we do?  Quite a hassle to remove all foods from
the freezer, switch off the freezer for 3 hrs to let all its frost
thaw (very often, the frost is so thick that the shelves of the
freezer got blocked & can't be opened.

What are the methods or strategies we can best manage
this?  Set the temperature to below medium (in which case
the lower few shelves will not be cold enough to freeze the
ice-creams) or we have to 'chisel' away (any such chisel)
on a daily basis so that the frost don't build up over 3-4
weeks that it blocks the shelves.

I live in a full tropical country where the room temperature
is constantly between 26-31 Celsius all year round with
high environmental humidity

https://www.bobvila.com/articles/frost-in-freezer/
Referencing the link above, I don't put hot/warm foods in
the freezer;  it's mostly ice cubes, ice cream & frozen fish
cake/fishballs: freezer is about 65-90% loaded & often
there's reusable ice pack in it.

The freezer is set to -5 to -10 Celcius & it's placed
in the living room: our kitchen is rather small & it
alr has a big fridge (but the freezing compartment
of this fridge is only about 30% of the total volume
of the entire fridge which is not enough for us so
I got the FUF-GA80freezer below to give me an
extra 80L:

It has 4.5 star rating but seeing how fast the frost
builds, I had 2nd thoughts

i don't like hammering a freezer ... but hey..if you want to - just go for it
but with hot water bowls - you have no risk of damaging
oh yes- when you do it this way - put towels in the bottom to suck up the thawing water

Hammering is over kill.
Tap and Paul was correct about a short time with freezer off.
