Roger,
I have a deep freeze in my unheated and uninsulated attached garage.
This is in SE Iowa where it gets below zero sometimes. Although I have
never checked the temperature in the garage, I would guess that it gets
below 32 degrees F several times a year. The freezer has worked fine for
six years in this location. Do you know of any reason that it shouldn't?
Cheers,
Don

Well, someone on usenet said it would not. However, your
freezer doesn't read Usenet. What comes to mind to me, is
that the compressor lubricating oil gets sluggish at lower
temps.

Of it is freezer only, no problem but as the Stormin Mormin and I have
pointed out, it is when the refrigerator thermostat turns off the
compressor before the freezer is cold enough. In a warmer place, that
is not a problem.

Agree that was the analysis in previous threads. In many 'fridges'
that also have a freezer section if/when the fridge is placed in say a
garage or cool location, the thermostat being normally in the fridge
section of the appliance and depending on a balancing of air flow
between two sections, under normal 'house' conditions may not operate
the appliance for long sufficiently long for the freezer section to
stay cold enough!
A freezer with its one thermosta controlling the whole unit should be,
based on our expereience too, quite OK.

I'm not sure which, but processing reefer is definitely a different
newsgroup.
