Can the fridge section protect frozen food while the freezer is repaired?

It may provide controlled chilled conditions for suitable thawing, but it does not maintain frozen storage. That changes the food's preparation and use timetable.

What the observation tells you

A large frozen load can crowd the fridge, obstruct airflow or release liquid while thawing. Raw products need containment and separation from ready-to-eat food. If the whole appliance will be disconnected, its refrigerator is not an active alternative store at all.

A useful next step

Plan according to the food instructions and the repair's isolation requirements. Use another suitable freezer when continued frozen storage is needed, and record when thawing begins.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
