Operating a Chest Freezer in Unconditioned Outbuilding?

We want to store a chest freezer in an unheated/uncooled outbuilding. What experience, knowledge and/or advice does anyone have on this? (We're concerned re: temperature, not security.)

Thanks.

Not long ago we bought a freezer that had been used and kept in the outdoor alleyway behind the restaurant, got it cheap of course. It had always been outdoors and it lasted us for several more years. Hope it works that well for you.

We've had an upright freezer for many years in an unheated separate garage with no problems but our winters/summers aren't too extreme here.

Sound like there are many variables involved in the threads below:

The last post there suggested "go to different appliance stores in your area and ask around, someone is bound to know since they live there as well." Sounds like a good idea.

It will be ok. We've had one on our screened in back porch for many years. It's still working ok, good luck.

Owners manuals will show storage to remove lid or chain lid down so that is cannot accidently be opened when not in use. This has been a safety feature for years.

Structurely, nothing will happen to it, maybe rodents making nestings in the insulation near the motor in the back.
