The ice melted.
Like most freezers, but especially those that get passed down from one tenant to the next in a humid climate, mine had developed a pretty thick layer of frosted ice inside it.
Before I pulled the plug on the whole contraption (fridge and freezer combined), I considered whether or not it would be a good idea consider that ice buildup. I concluded that it would be better to go for it, since I was already in the mood to do it, instead of putting it off.
Even as I’ve mopped up the mess over the past two days, I still think I made the right call.
