That depends.
MOST refrigerators---if kept closed--- can keep foods cold for 24 hours after the compressor stops working. Freezer should be kept closed; as long as frozen solid, those foods will be okay to eat. Strive to quickly resolve the problem, so you can transfer from old frig / freezer to new.
However, if you don't know WHEN the problem occurred, you MUST NOT trust a 24-hour window. It might be more like 6 hours, not 24. Foods can feel cool on packaging, but the actual food may have gotten too warm.
"If in doubt (that it is good now), throw it out." Milk, some cheeses, deli foods, meats, and previously cooked foods can go bad quickly.
