I feel a bit silly I don't know where to begin. I've only moved in a couple months ago and it already needs to be defrosted. This little tray that slides in and out say on it: "When defrosting lift back edge of chiller and slide to rear of cabinet". What exactly is the chiller? Is it the tray itself? I'm guessing I just unplug the appliance and slide that tray back and empty it as the ice melts. I wonder what the slide out above it is for. It seems like it comes out but does not move back. It has a hole near the rear which looks like it will line up to drain right into the tray below if it is slid back. And does the tray below have another function? It seems like a decent spot to store meats since it's right next to the freezer and super cold. Maybe I have this all figured out but I just want to be sure.
I think the seal is not tight near the top. Unless this sort of thing is typical? How often should I need to defrost it before I assume there is something wrong and might need it serviced? Have I asked too many questions?
