Put a pot of boiling water on a towel in the freezer. Keep watching and changing the water as the freezer thaws. Good luck.
Ah ha! lol. You did say without hot water. I guess I read too fast. Try unplugging the freezer. Also, put a fan on in front of it if possible.
Put a blow dryer in it and shut the door. Check every few minutes.
Why without water?I had an old one for years long after everyone else had upgraded.I loved it,from my grandma.I always once a week so it wouldnt get too bad,take a large(as large as possible)pot of boiling water.Set it inside and let it do its thing.I have used blow dryers honestly after YEARS of doing this the best way is boiling water.If you dont want to do that I can only say a blow dryer works remember they do over heat,so dont let it run too long at a time.
Just blowing air with the exhaust of your vacuum cleaner will also work, if you do not want to use the hair dryer. I found the vacuum was preferable, but the one I have now doesn't have the blowing feature.
