Is it healthy for no frost fridge to have water in ice cube forms?
It's said that we should close liquids when we put them into fridge that has no frost system (no ice formation in the freezer).Or ice will appear and the fridge will not serve that long.
At the same time there are forms for ice cubes in my fridge, in the upper shelf of the freezer.
They're open, so I supposed to pour water and leave this water exposed to the freezer.
I think if I'll use them I'll harm my fridge, I'll have to defrost it or may be even fix it.

In short, it's within design tolerance.
Frost-free freezers work by generating a periodic warm-up phase which lets any ice melt. The water is then drained to near the heat exchanger, which will then evaporate it off outside the freezer body.
Ice cube trays don't generate sufficient additional water vapour within the freezer compartment to compromise this process - except in the runners directly surrounding the trays themselves, which for some bizarre reason don't seem to ever stay as frost-free as the rest of the compartment;)

Is ice in fridge bad?
The first thing to mention is that water or a layer of ice on the rear interior wall of a fridge is not unusual \u2013 in fact, water formation on a fridge's back wall is a completely normal physical process. Water will always condense and collect at the coldest point because cold air can hold less moisture than warm air.Can you make ice cubes in a frost free freezer?
Frost-free freezers keep the air from becoming saturated so that it won't freeze on the walls. But that also means ice-cubes can sublimate nonstop!Why is ice forming inside my refrigerator?
Ice buildup in the refrigerator compartment can mean that there is a problem with the door seal or hinges. Check the door gasket for tears, wear or age. If the door gasket doesn't fit snugly to the main frame of the refrigerator, then it will allow the outside air to pass into the fridge.Can freezer ice make you sick?
It's a scary thought. Ice cubes can be contaminated with food poisoning bacteria. Since ice produced by your ice maker will be consumed, the ice machine is considered a food contact surface area.No Frost Refrigerator Ice Problem \u0026 Freezing Up | Refrigerator Ice Problem | Fridge Ice Problem Fix
