Answer
The duration for which a medium-sized fridge freezer can maintain its temperature after being switched off depends on several factors, including insulation quality, ambient temperature, and the amount of food inside.
Typically, if the freezer door is kept closed and the ambient temperature is around 0°C (32°F), the contents can stay frozen for approximately 24 to 48 hours. However, if the ambient temperature is warmer, this time frame may be reduced to about 12 to 24 hours.
To prolong the freezing time, it's best to keep the door closed as much as possible and minimize heat exposure.
