Is Turning a freezer off for a week bad for it?
Hello,
I have an ice cream shop and 3 large deep freezes. Half way through the week some freezers are empty. Am i able to turn them off for a week until the next delivery without hurting them? |

It won't the running of it. But it might start to smell a little funky inside. |

Also, are you aware that is better to keep freezers as full as possible? It is. Suggest you call the mfg. Lou |

Check with the mfg. to see how to properly shut them down. If shut off and kept closed, they will probably mildew .. once mildewy, they will reek to high heaven and likely impart the odor to food. Don't know how much of a problem the mildew would really be, but certainly if off for a week they won't be cold enough to keep the ice cream when get the new delivery for a while again. He could always experiment w/ what would work but doubt will get much energy savings while having them cold enough to not have problems w/ the new stock... |
