To help keep your refrigerator at the ideal temperature for the longest period of time during a power outage, keep the doors closed. If left unopened, the refrigerator can hold its temperature for up to four hours and the freezer for up to 48 hours.
If you lose power, keep the refrigerator and freezer doors closed as much as possible. USDA says a full freezer will keep its temperature for about 48 hours and 24 hours if half-full. When the power is restored, check the temperature in the refrigerator and freezer. If the thermometer reads 40 degrees F or below, the food is safe. If no thermometer was used in the freezer, check each package.
