Does anyone know if you can get some sort of doohickey you can leave in
the freezer which will sound an alarm if the temperature rises ? I know
cold kills batteries, so have no idea how it could work.

Wire something in parallel with the interior light if it has one.
If not, door switch as per other fridges.

Don't do that. Cook what you can use and give the rest away to the
neighbours, with instructions that it should be cooked and eaten
promptly.

Why? As the man said "food doesn't instantly turn into bacteria if
the temp goes over 0C".

Nothing but just occasionally it will get jammed open a tad. Normal
cause is a drawer not fully home. TBH when oursgot jammed open last
week I don't know what was keeping it open to start with. When I
found it frozen melt and ice build up was doing a grand job, I guess
that may have been the orginal cause but I doubt it.
