My approach is to put a penny on my ice cubes in the freezer. If the penny is still on top of the ice when the power comes back then everything is good, if it's sunk into the ice then the freezer got too warm, and if my freezer got to warm I assume the fridge section did as well.

We use a variation at our camp on an island where we might not know there was an extended power failure. We put an ice cube on the wire shelf. If the ice cube melts, we know the perishables are bad.
