At work, our freezer was not frost-free, so I would use a blow dryer.
It worked. The ice would pull away from the walls and I would toss it
in a sink.

I have a large larder fridge which is frost free, but my freezer is an
18cuft chest freezer. I don't defrost it, I chip all the ice off with a
wooden spatula and then sweep it up out of the bottom of the freezer.
