I'm hoping there is nothing wrong with my freezer but I just went to get out some sausages and they were partially defrosted And so was everything else in there. I checked the thermostat and it was on 4 so I turned it up. Hopefully the freezer door was just left open and it's not broken...

So can I re freeze everything that was in there or do I have to chuck it all? Someone said if I fully defrost it, then I can refreeze without cooking...is that true? Or can I just refreeze when it's half defrosted?

TIA...thankfully there wasn't too much in there but still about $40 worth
