I couldn't find the 'alt.hvacr' newsgroup and I'm sure somebody here has
a good answer to this. Whether or not that answer gets posted has yet
to be seen but I'll take a chance. :)

I've got a four year old 21 cubic foot freezer and I'm contemplating
getting a larger one to replace it. My question is, would it harm or
shorten the life of a freezer (or refrigerator) if it were to sit for a
few years (say 3-5) without power? I'd like to pass it on to one of my
kids when they need one but it would piss me off if it started having
problems shortly thereafter because I let it sit unused for while.

Or would I be better off just selling it so somebody could get some
useful life out of it?

        Run it an hour a month. Make sure it's dry and clean inside.
Don't leave it outside, don't let it get wet.

What's worth noting is your past posts here and your refusal to actually
get trained.
You don't know hardly shit and you haven't improved upon that by much in
the years that you've been here.
Go find some other trade and newsgroup to prattle about what you think
you know.
You are exactly the half-ass that people need warned against.
