How long to keep defrosted chips etc

Fridge freezer has packed in, well the freezer part, it's had to be turned off, all meat is round at my parents. That's all the room they had, but I have some "frozen" chips, hash browns, breaded garlic mushrooms and onion rings, which are now defrosted but out in tubs and a sealed bag in the garden as its colder than inside, it's around the temperature of the fridge.
Question is how long would you keep them or just bin them ?
Currys are coming out on Tuesday, hopefully it's just a motor and can be repaired.

Anything that’s not meat or fish I’d try and eat today or tomorrow.
or if there is opportunity to access a fridge, cook it and eat by Monday?

Depending on how cold it is outside I think Monday would be my limit given it's not meat but tbh they probably wouldn't last that long

They're Asda hash brown stars from Christmas, the best hash browns I've ever tasted, I was hoping to make them last a while but it wasn't to be ! 😭

Couldn't you have left them in the freezer and kept the door closed?

anyway, you haven't so... personally I'd cook them today - beige dinner for all and I'd eat them cold tomorrow.

It's packed in, ie yesterday morning things we're already defrosting, they wouldn't have stayed cold
