On the water

On the coast a hurricane plan often includes the freezer: set it to its coldest a day ahead, fill empty space with jugs of water, and keep the lid or door shut once the power goes, since a full freezer left closed holds its cold for about two days.

Seasonal houses

A caretaker opening a seasonal house may find the freezer running but coated in frost inside, from a door that never quite closed the day the owners left, and the repair begins with the gasket and the hinge rather than the cooling.

A second freezer

The extra freezer in a garage or basement holds the bulk buys and the holiday meat, and it is opened so rarely that a gradual warm-up can run for weeks, so an inexpensive thermometer inside the cabinet is the best early warning there is.
