My husband tried this once with the door nearly closed. It
melted/warped some of the interior plastic trim.

I can defrost our garage freezer when it's very bad in about an hour.
I use two kettles of boiling water set on the shelves, with back-up
kettles heating on the stove. When the first are cooled, I replace them
and usually two rounds works quite well.
