I agree with tinker, too with the following comment/question. You need to check what other devices are on the same circuit breaker. The freezer will use quite a bit of power when the compressor starts and may need a separate circuit if other devices are on the circuit you are using. There should be a name plate on the freezer which notes the operating amperage. When starting, the freezer may draw up to 3 times the operating amperage for a short period.
If you don't know what else is on the same circuit, plug a lamp into the outlet you want to use, then go to the fuse box and shut off the circuit breaker...if the lamp goes out you know you've turned off the correct breaker. Then check around the house for anything else that no longer is working. Good luck.
