Hello everyone, I know this is an extremely weird question, but do any of you know around how long food in the fridge can last assuming I do not open the fridge door at all during the period it is turned off? Asking this because they are turning off the power in my block to do maintenance and I need to know. The power will be off for 9 hours.

9 hours is fine. You can manage about a day or two with a bag of ice in there.

Depends on the fridge size, amount of food in there, your temp settings, etc..

 

9 hours would be a stretch for me. I'd chuck anything overly perishable after about 7 hours. It should be noted my fridge isn't the best, I keep some sensitive foods (seafood for ex.), and am cautious.

If you have a well insulated fridge you could probably get away with it.

 

As they said above however, chucking a bag of ice in there is a good plan.

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.

Shouldn't be that big of an issue if its closed the entire time. If you're worried, leading up to the event, chuck a bag of ice in there and then set it to the coldest setting. Once power is off it should be good for longer than it will need to be.

Hmm, alright thanks, will buy a bag off ice before they cut the power and try it

Google the model, the specs on the manufacturers website will tell you the fail safe time or whatever they call it
