What To Do If Your Refrigerator or Freezer Stops Working.

You won't necessarily have to throw out all your food! But in the event of a power failure or appliance malfunction, you may need to take steps to ensure the safety of perishable foods.

If possible, try to estimate how long the freezer will be off. If the power will be restored or a service technician can repair the appliance within a few hours, don't worry -- just be sure to keep the doors closed. Food in a full freezer will remain frozen for about 48 hours; a half-full freezer for about 24 hours.

After the freezer begins working again, examine the food. Meat or poultry that still contains ice crystals may be refrozen. Completely thawed foods should be cooked. After cooking, they can be frozen again.

When a refrigerator stops, you can expect your food to last 4-6 hours, depending on the warmth of the kitchen and the number of times the door is opened. If the refrigerator is off for more than six hours, adding a block of ice to the refrigerator will help keep it cool.

 Be smart about leftovers.


Food should spend as little time as possible in the middle (or “danger”) zone of 40° – 140° F, where bacteria thrives. That’s why cooked foods should be stored in small portions and in shallow containers, where they will be more apt to cool faster (large, dense portions can take hours to drop below 40° F). All leftovers should be immediately stored in the refrigerator in clean, air-tight, leak-proof containers or wraps.

Stay Cool

• Keep your refrigerator at the right temperature.
The temperature of your refrigerator should be below 40° F (ideally 37° F) and your freezer should be kept at 0° F. This is the single most important thing you can do to not only improve freshness, but keep food safe from harmful bacteria.
