Haven't had to do that stuff since. I never ruined one, but I hacked
away at a lot of ice. When I started getting nervous (and as I got
wiser), I started using hot water to melt the glaciers. I'd heat big
pots of it and use a baster to soak the ice. Sopped up the big puddles
at the bottom with big sponges. On and on until the job was done.

If your vacuum allows you to attach the hose to the exhaust end it will make
quick work of ice. I have an Electrosux and I just stick the vac hose in the
icebox.

A hair dryer works well too...
