Yes, you should definitely remove heavy ice and frost buildup from your freezer promptly. Excessive ice acts as a thermal insulator, preventing the internal evaporator coils from absorbing heat efficiently, which causes temperatures to rise and spoils stored food. Furthermore, thick ice buildup forces the compressor motor to run continuously and work much harder to maintain low temperatures, leading to premature mechanical failure, increased monthly electricity consumption, and blocked airflow between the freezer and refrigerator compartments.
