I have a Media freezer in my unheated garage. It is made to be used in an unheated area. When I worked, I worked at a place that did printing. All of the machinery put off a lot of heat. The temperature and humidity had to be carefully controlled. Air conditioners ran year round. All of the air conditioners, which were some pretty big units, sat outside. They all had heaters in them to keep the oil, in the compressors, warm. If the oil got cold it would damage the the compressor. When I bought e freezer for my garage I made sure it was rated for cold temperature operation. ^^^ This, older frigs and freezers could take the cold, new ones unless rated for cold outside temps, you will have problems. It is my understanding that newer freezer base there internal temps on ambient ait temps. that doesn't make a bit of sense to me but apparently models like that will shut themselves off when air temp drop into the 40's. Older freezers have no issues with cold.
Eh...wot?

It would be a good idea to add a freezer alarm also.

So the little one I just got looks like a newer one. I never knew they had a little heater in them. I may as well unplug it in winter cuz the thing will be trying to heat.
