In an emergency situation, whether long term or short, freezer failure can mean the loss of all or part of a large investment in food, time, and money. It pays to know what to do if your freezer stops working.
At any time of the year, a freezer may fail to function because of mechanical problems, power failures or human error. The best time to decide how to handle such an emergency is before it happens. When a freezer stops working, the first rule is to keep the freezer door closed. In a well-filled freezer, food will probably remain frozen for about two days if the door is kept closed.
