Ts been almost 3 years since, my Godrej Frost-free refrigerator has given me trouble-free service (touch wood!!!!!) Even if it did, according to the Godrej Company, they have a Godrej dealer almost in every district in the country who have service reps.
This Godrej Frost-Free refrigerators of mine is a 260lt, double door, fully automatic and self draining machine. Insulated with polyurethane foam with capacity (freezer– 77lt and fridge – 183lt) thus making it a combined total of – 260 lt. This also includes 2 ice trays, and a crisper cover for storage, which is a must in all fridges generally. One of the most self- observed features is the non-existence of a slide and fold shelves in other fridge’s, which the Godrej Frost-Free refrigeratorsboast of, giving the flexibility even to my tall beer mugs….(Hic!)
Also are 2 egg trays, a quick freezing corner and 2 bottle shelves conveniently stilt for ease of use. Another important aspect is that the Godrej Frost-Free refrigerators has a frost free fan cooled which is a forced convection design to provide uniform cooling in every section of the fridge.
Another special small item shelf is neatly tucked away, that usually provides me for some handy additional space for small items, my hangover pills that I get from my tall beer mugs…Hic!!! Other common features are the dairy shelf for storing butter, cheese, chocolates etc. The reason why I bought this fridge was simply for the one who never had to ruin a Sunday afternoon sitting and defrosting the entire fridge. One never has to defrost the Godrej Frost-Free refrigerators as it is designed to defrost itself completely and automatically.
The cyclic defrost ensures that the fridge automatically defrosts itself 2-3 times a day, by a defrost heater during the defrost cycle. During this cycle, the fridge is off for sometime, after which it restarts. Defrost water drains into the collector pan through the drainpipe, from where it evaporates automatically.
Caution: One important point they note is to never refreeze already thawed food, especially red meats, becoz it reduces the quality of the food considerably.
Also don’t be alarmed at the heat on the sides of the fridge, like I was and almost did called the fire brigade. It is absolutely normal and is due to the condenser and it helps prevent condensation from taking place.
Important Tip for any refrigerator :
When humidity is high condensation may take place, just wipe with a dry cloth. That’s all!! In general, keeping the external surfaces of the fridge dry is important. In humid weather, as is the kind of environment in a kitchen, which includes fumes from cooking, the surfaces can be moist. This can lead to fungus formation and fungus spots are known to lead to rusting in the area. If ignored the same can also become kinda greasy, which can develop into stains that are stubborn and further encourage growth of fungus spots.
Thus, regular wiping for any fridge is very essential. The lower edge front of the cabinet as well as the bottom surface of the door are important locations requiring regular wiping. Otherwise there is a risk of rust formation on the surfaces despite the powder coated/pre-coated finish.
Godrej Frost Free refrigerators is a quality product (atleast mine is), very thoughtfully designed to meet ones needs and manufactured with great care to give many a years of service and is just like any dependable member of the family.
