Empty it, unplug and completely defrost then remove the plastic gently.

Can I pour warm/hot water over it and try to gently remove it that way?
Can I use a blowdryer and try to gently remove it that way?

(I have so much food in there and no place to store it while defrosting.)

I would unplug the frig and try the blow dryer, being careful of drips getting into it.

I just want you to know that IT WORKED!! I followed your suggestions and did use the blow dryer to speed things a long a little. I temporarily stored my frozen goods outside because it's 20 degrees F, here. I had forgotten that! Thanks, again
