Recording fridge and freezer temperatures

Updated 18/07/2026 · 3 min read

Storage temperatures — fridges, freezers, and any other appliance you've added — are taken as part of your daily round. The safe range for each reading is calculated on the server each time.

1

Open the appliance from your daily round

Each fridge, freezer or other unit you've added appears in the morning and evening temperature round on Today. Tap it to record a reading.

2

Enter the temperature

Type or select the reading from the probe. There's nothing else to fill in — no appliance link to choose, since you're already inside that appliance's own entry.

3

The band is calculated on the server

The colour is calculated by the server each time a reading is saved, based on the appliance and your premises' UK nation. This applies even if you were offline when you took the reading.

4

An out-of-range reading opens a corrective action automatically

If a reading falls outside the safe range — including the too-cold end, not just too warm — a guided corrective action opens straight away. There's no separate step to raise it.

5

It joins the appliance's history

Every reading is kept permanently against that appliance, as part of the appliance's history.

Tip: A custom safe range can be set for an individual appliance, tighter than the legal limit but never looser.
