In this video, DIYNate shows the process of defrosting his Igloo FR320 mini fridge (manufactured by Curtis). This mini fridge is now comparable to the IRF32 model that Igloo sells. Many mini fridges don't have an auto-defrost function and will occasionally build up excessive ice. The manufacturer recommends to defrost the fridge when the ice is over 1/4 inch thick, and this was well over 2 to 3 inches thick. Defrosting the fridge can save energy, keep your fridge cool better, and extend the life of your unit. DIYNate put towels in his fridge and set an alarm to remind him to check back each hour to see how the defrosting / deicing process was going. After the second hour, the major ice "glacier" separated and was able to be removed.

The key driver for the ice buildup was having the mini-fridge running at its highest setting (7) when the recommended normal temperature is 4. After defrosting the fridge and adjusting the setting, the freezer is now looking good and the fridge is running well.
