Remove any foods you have that need to stay frozen to freezer chests or another freezer.
Place a box fan in front of the freezer opening. It may need to be propped up if you have a chest or are doing the top of a refrigerator that is not frost free. Make sure to drape the electrical cord up so that it cannot get wet when the ice melts.
I like to keep some towels, bucket, and mop handy. Notice my lovely muck boots!
My upright freezer had at least an inch of frost/ice built up on some of it's shelves. It was completely defrosted within two hours!
Take some old towels and clean and dry before replacing your food. Also if you keep your freezer full, it will save you money. It will not have to work as hard to keep everything cold. We 3/4 fill empty plastic jugs and place in freezer as it empties. (This ice also comes in handy when taking a freezer chest somewhere or to crush when making ice cream.)
Ready for the garden veggies, fruit, and the game meat!
