A "frost-free" regrigerator does not prevent frost but melts the ice before it becomes a problem. See http://home.howstuffworks.com/question144.htm. If you feel your refrigerator is not defrosting properly, see http://www.repairclinic.com/RepairHelp/Refrigerator-Repair/4-5-1057506-/Whirlpool-Refrigerator-EV160NZTQ00-Troubleshooting.
