How long is food safe if your fridge stops cooling?
According to the USDA, a refrigerator keeps food safe for up to 4 hours during a cooling failure or power outage, as long as the door stays closed. A full freezer holds a safe temperature for about 48 hours, or 24 hours if it's half full. After 4 hours without cooling, perishables like meat, poultry, fish, eggs, and leftovers should be discarded. When in doubt, the USDA's rule is simple: throw it out.
If your fridge stops cooling, keep the door closed, call us right away, and if the outage is likely to run long, move perishables to a cooler with ice as a backup.

Is my refrigerator worth repairing?
Refrigerators last about 14 years on average. A compressor repair on a 13-year-old fridge is rarely worth it, since the compressor alone can cost nearly as much as a comparable new unit. A door seal or fan motor repair at $150 on that same fridge is usually still worth doing. Run the 50/50 rule: if the repair cost exceeds half of a comparable new refrigerator's price, and the fridge is past 7 years old, get a second opinion before approving the repair.
