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.
Obviously, the food is in the fridge to keep it from spoiling and without power to the appliance, it will eventually go bad. But how long does that take? The U.S. Department of Agriculture says the average refrigerator will keep food cold for about four hours without power, as long as you keep the doors closed. The more you open the door, the shorter that period becomes. A powered refrigerator temperature should be 40 degrees F or lower and the freezer should be 0 degrees F or lower. If you are without power for any length of time, you should use an appliance thermometer to help you keep track of your refrigerator's temperature.
