The guy showed that on the little white boxĮasily accessible in the back, you just take a small screwdriver and turn the little knob counter clockwise.

I went on YouTube one more time and this time there was a new video that showed the exact same compressor and control box as mine. Unplugging it and waiting for a couple hours. I was thinking I would have to replace it.

Empty the drip pain and wipe down the interior as needed.I have an 8 year old Frigidaire 8 cf fridge/freezer. The process usually takes a few hours and the fridge will automatically restart when the defrosting is finished. Remove all contents from the freezer, ensure the drip pan is in place and then push the defrost button. Some mini fridges feature a defrost push button - located on the user control panel with the temperature controls - that should be used when the ice buildup in the freezer reaches 1/4 inch or more thick. Plug the fridge back in, reset the temperature and replace the contents. When the freezer is completely defrosted, empty the drip pan and wipe down the interior of the unit. Keep an eye on the drip pan as it will fill with water empty and replace as needed. The process will take a few hours keep the fridge door open to accelerate the process. Remove all contents from the fridge, ensure the drip pan is under the freezer compartment and then unplug the unit. Mini fridges without a defrost button will need to be defrosted manually. In the event of moving or excessive ice buildup on the walls of the ice compartment, a mini fridge will need to be defrosted either manually or with the defrost push button.
