Does the unit needed to be defrosted from time to time or is it frost free?

I've only had it for 6 months but haven't had to defrost it yet. It's been performing well for me so far

I don't recall but I have never had any issues with it freezing up. I ran it for 3 months without turning it off except to clean the filter and no issues.

I've had no frost build up yet, so I don't know about the defrosting mechanism.

Does the freezer have a ice build up. If not the compressor may be bad. If so then the defrost thermostat maybe bad. You can troubleshoot by checking the board

I have had mine for 2 years now and have not had any problems. The temps are constant and no service work has been needed.

The water around it and looking through the center are not frozen. It thaws just enough water so the unit can still move around a little. The unit kept a hole in the ice all winter in Michigan and that's all you need to let the gasses escape.

This one has a built in defrost. The indoor and outdoor fan stop running when defrosting (cooling and heating models only). From the user manual: "Frost may be generated on the outdoor unit during heat cycle when outdoor temperature is low and humidity is high resulting in lower heating efficiency of the air conditioner. ". I live in northeast Texas and its a rather mild climate so heat pumps work well.

So far, in the 5 mos. we have used it, it hasn't built up any frost. I don't think it gets cold enough to warrant a frost free feature. It also operates very quietly.

Mine sits on the carpet and had not gotten it wet. It is only a fridge so no need to defrost. I've had it for 6 months and I love it!

Yea, provided that the condenser does not need defrosting. To prevent ice build up on the condenser the fan may continue to run after the humidity level is reached.

Don't know how long it actually takes to defrost--but usually I just put it on a counter, open the door and spray it with my kitchen faucet sprayer. Doesn't take very long at all that way.As for it being quiet. Yes, it's very quiet. I barely notice it running ever.

No. It needs to be periodically defrosted. I have had mine for a little over a year and it is about time.

If you are talking about putting frozen items on it to cook, probably. If you are putting items on it to defrost minus cooking it at the same time, it will defrost as it would on a plate at room tempitur

Yes - it is plugged into a standard outlet. It works very well, and although I've had it for some time, it doesn't really need defrosting.

Well, you have heard something that is completely wrong. Some people says things without knowing what they are saying. Pioneer has an sophisticated defrosting system. Just like every other well known brand heat pump in the market, it will automatically start defrosting mode when it feels ice build up on the coil based on a sophisticated set of instructions in its operating logic.

The unit looks brand new and has been in the ground for about a full season. From 100F direct sun in the summer to -26F blowing snow and wind in the winter, I can see no visible degradation.

Thank you for your interest in Goedeker's! This refrigerator does not allow for the defrost cycle to be turned off. It does, however, allow for it to be sped up.
