I decided to speed things up by scrapping off the ice and I punctured the side of the ice box. I used some silicone filler to seal it. Will it work?

The main purpose of defrosting an ice box is to remove any built-up ice or frost that can hinder the proper functioning of the appliance. This buildup can also reduce the storage capacity of the ice box and cause it to consume more energy.
The frequency of defrosting an ice box depends on the usage and the model of the appliance. As a general rule, it is recommended to defrost an ice box at least once every 3-6 months to prevent excessive ice buildup.
The most common method is to unplug the ice box and leave the door open for the ice to melt naturally. Alternatively, you can also use a hairdryer or a bowl of warm water to speed up the process. It is important to never use sharp objects or hot water to remove the ice as it can damage the appliance.
Yes, there are a few ways to speed up the defrosting process. You can place a pan of hot water inside the ice box or use a hairdryer on the lowest heat setting to melt the ice. However, it is crucial to avoid using sharp objects or hot water to prevent damage to the appliance.
To prevent ice buildup, it is essential to keep the ice box door closed as much as possible. Avoid placing hot or warm items directly into the ice box, as it can cause condensation and lead to ice buildup. It is also recommended to regularly clean the ice box and its seals to prevent any air leaks that can cause excess moisture and ice formation.
