Just found my fridge door left open all night with a ton of meat

Just shopped Costo yesterday, purchased a ton of meat did not feel like dividing last evening so I had my daughter place it all in the fridge for the night. Just went down to the basement and the door was left open about an inch and it is all room temperature now!!!!! Is it even worth considering eating now or do I bite the bullet and throw it all out?

UHG HELP ME!!!!

    I did get ground meat, chicken and pork tenderloin. The ground meat definately started to "change color" but the rest of it looks fine, but it was actually almost warm to the touch! I even had almost a case of beer in there too!

The safest thing to do would be to throw it away.

If it was me, I'd do the old smell test to see if it is still OK.

I'd be especially wary of ground meat.

If you have a sensitive stomach or are prone to food poisoning I would not eat it.

It will ultimately have to be your call.

LG French Door Refrigerator Error Code 15

My problem was similar to yours and my lg refrigerator model number is: LMXS30776D/02, I followed the steps like you with no luck. I just fixed mine last night and it's a pleasure for me to share with you my experience.As I was trying to figure out what was wrong with my fridge, as I was shaking and lifting the left front door of my fridge I noticed that the error code E: 15 disappear on the display. As we open the door back and forth for normal use,the error E: 15 comes back again.From that,I realized something wrong with the left front door of the fridge. I ordered a new left door, It came in yesterday, I installed it last night and everything works beautifully in my fridge, no more code what so ever. as a result, if you are experiencing the same problem,most likely you need to think replacing the left door of the fridge.
Let me know if this help.
Thank you.

My Kenwood frost free Fridge Freezer KFC60SS15 has got quite a bit of ice on the drawers

Look at the door on the ice cube chute. If there is a cube stuck in it holding it open, ice will form on interior surfaces of the freezer. The door flapper must close tightly.

Our freezer and fridge just quit working too

It sounds like the thermocouple has gone faulty. This is part of your temperature control system. Best to have it checked out by an appliance repairman. Good luck, Dana

We left the freezer door open all night by accident two days ago

I turned the fridge side off on mine, and left it overnight (last night!). This morning there is frozen stuff in the freezer. I think the compressor motor just needed ALOT of time to cool down b4 it would work properly again
