Who remembers the struggle of defrosting the fridge? Before fancy smart fridges, early models were a huge step up from the old ice-box—but they came with the dreaded ice buildup! Do you remember your first ever fridge? Share your memories here!

There was never enough room in the freezer section for leftovers!

And, yes, defrosting was a nightmare 😵‍💫

Remember my when I got married my first frig had to be defrosted every couple months, glad that is behind us now!
 
The little freezer held very little and trying to defrost was almost impossible, in the end I would throw hot water on the ice to get rid of it , todays fridges are the best no defrosting required.

Hair driers blowing into them were good!
