If the refrigerator door was slightly open for a few hours or overnight the unit was operating and the temperature stayed at 40 f 4 4 c all the food would be safe to use.
If the temperature remains at 40 f 4 c then you will not need to discard the food.
I have a ge profile french door bottom freezer refrigerator.
Start in the freezer and look for ice build up and if you see any remove the ice.
Leaving the door open causes ice to build up blocking airflow sometimes causing the fan to stall.
If the door was just left open a crack it s time to assess the contents.
I already tossed the egg substitute but the milk was towards the back and still seemed fairly cold and isn t.

I opened the freezer door on the refrigerator and found it to be cold and freezing the food.
Also check the airflow vents for ice and if there is any ice.

If the refrigerator door was left wide open most perishable foods would go bad if it was over 2 hours and the temperature did rise above 40 f 4 c.
So my question is.
Last night the doors on both the refrigerator and the freezer were left open for several hours resulting in temperatures of 56 and 25f re read more.
I didn t discover this until 7 hours later unfortunately.
If you can t tell what the temperature is in the refrigerator and the food feels warm discard perishable items as you would in a power outage.
It wasn t wide open.
