We defrost using the fan method. It takes less than a half hour generally even in the freezer where the worst build up happens. I just did the dollar bill test on the fridge and freezer seals. That is where you close the door with a dollar bill in the area where the rubber seal seats. The dollar bill shouldn't move or be easily dragged around the edge of the seal area. Mine failed miserably. This indicates the fridge and freezer doors are NOT sealing, allowing air to move into the unit adding to the frost inside. I'm going to contact Dometic and see if I can get a new set of door seals sent to me.
