I just lifted the iron down from the shelf, and found its base was covered in rust. I cleaned it off with a brillo pad, but fear I might have got some water in the works because plugging it in shorted out the power for the entire house. Twice.

hendybear, maybe we shouldn't have used the iron to defrost the freezer after all.

I figured it was his choice and his freezer :)

Nice use of icon, by the way.

It seemed an appropriate icon.

I reckon freezers need a reverse button, a bit like self inflating (and deflating) airbeds.

It would not be particularly difficult to implement. Commercial ice makers work in a very similar way to freezers, but in order to release the ice cubes once they've been made they have a bypass valve that allows hot refrigerant gas to circulate through the cooling elements.
