You should be fine. The temperature inside your fridge would likely NOT have gone above the required 41 degrees required for it to be safe. And even if it did it would not have been for long. And the food likely stayed below 41 degrees anyway. However once the FOOD ITSELF has been above 41 degrees for more than four hrs then I would be more concerned. But you would have had to have left the door open the entire time for this to happen. Your food should still be good.

It's iffy with some food. I don't think 6 hours would be the death of anything. If you have uncooked chicken or pork in there you should toss it just to be safe.. I'd be carefull with any left-overs in there too. You might want to eat the food in the fridge quickly, unrefridgerated food spoils faster. Even if it's still good to eat it's essentially had some advanced parishing.

Depends on how many times the door was opened and closed during that time and if the food was in front or back and why types of food/drinks.

it relies upon on the nutrition... micro organism is your enemy... would not seem to matter even if you go away your nutrition cool in room temperatures or contained in the chilly storage. be particular the nutrition is sealed tightly and is saved in temps of 40 2 ranges or a lot less. under no circumstances enable any nutrition sit down for more effective than a week till that is frozen.

If you didn't open and close the door continually, the food in it should be alright. Refrigerators are insulated and generally can keep most foods cold for up to 24 hours.

I'd say your stuff is fine, especially if it goes out at night when the door isn't opened much and the temperature is usually cooler all around. I think after 12h during daytime I'd start worrying.

My power was once out for 24 hours and everything, and I do mean everything, went bad, it's best to be on the safe side if you question if something is still good and throw it away, you don't want to get e. coli or anything!

depends on how long and if you keep the fridge closed it will stay cooler much longer, you may want to check the temperature if it gets above 60 I would get rid of it

your food should be fine...since the fridge probably wasn't opened much during the outage...the coolness stayed in the fridge and helped maintain the foods temperature...

3 days fridge and 6days freezer
Unless there is raw meat in your fridge through it away...everything else should be good. Don't open either a lot,
