A change in cooling can raise two separate questions: what the appliance needs, and what to do about the food.
Keep the
questions clear.
Choose a note to explore. These prompts organise a conversation; they do not measure temperature or establish food safety.
What changed?
Write what you noticed and when. A change in cooling needs appropriate advice; appearance, smell or this page cannot establish whether food is safe.

Food-safety
guidance.
Use official advice for food affected by a power interruption or loss of cooling. Do not rely on a repair form or a photograph of the appliance to decide whether food is safe.
