I know where the drain plug is in our freezer (in the very bottom), but never bother to use it -- I empty out all the food, use my hairdryer and a plastic ice scraper (LOL, Lyn -- do you even
have a windshield ice scraper?) to get the ice off, scoop the chunks out into a bucket and mop up the water (which isn't that much) with a couple of towels or rags. Doesn't take long enough to necessitate moving the frozen food to another freezer, even in the summer.
