Just noticed my chest freezer without power.
Culprit was a triggered GFI.
Items in the chest freezer have thawed. Still cool to the touch.
Quart and gallon bottles of water placed in freezer to help keep
Freezer cool on this type of event are about half thawed.

Freezer operating now. What should I watch for so I don’t poison
Myself? No odor from foodstuffs. I have vacuum packed beef & pork
That has thawed, but cool. Seafood, and butter.

Suggestions?

As long as everything is still cool, should be no reason to worry about anything turning rotten.

It only gets up to 47 degrees once or twice a year where White 17 lives.

Glad you caught it in time. Now you need a dedicated non-gfi circuit for your freezer!

invest in a Freezer Alarm, so next time, you will hear the alarm and can act sooner.

Hey give the man a break. Scott has his hands full ranchin cattle, catching trout, trapping, making Canadian manpurses that are pretty cool, and baiting bears to elevated bird feeders. On top of all that he is finding bigfoot first whether Bobo Fey likes it or not. grin

Sounds like you caught it in time. If it never got above 47 I wouldn’t worry about it.

I had a freezer go out once, with a deer cape, bunch of meat, fish I wanted mounted, etc. luckily it went out while I was on vacation for two weeks so everything smelled really nice when I got back. It was an upright too, so the thawing pushed the door open, and the flies made lots of babies in it.

I had a very similar thing happened to me earlier this year. It was about 45° inside when I realized what was happening. I got the freezer running again, everything re-froze and has since been eaten with no ill affects.


Eh...wot?

Just had some crab that was in the freezer for dinner. If that doesn’t make me sick, I think everything is ok.
I appreciate all the advice
And I feel fine

The re frozen food wont make you sick,but it will have a shorter shelf life in the freezer now,as far as taste and texture goes.I would try to use it up quicker now.
