Refrigeration maintenance: defrosting by compressor shutdown Is defrosting of a domestic refrigerator achievable by stopping the compressor for a short period (off-cycle defrost)? Choose the correct truth value.

Concept/Approach
When the compressor is stopped, coil temperature rises above the frost point, allowing accumulated frost to melt (off-cycle defrost), especially in medium/high evaporating temperature systems.

Notes
Other methods include electric heaters and hot-gas defrost for low-temperature (freezer) systems, but stopping the compressor is a standard defrost option in suitable applications.

Final Answer
