Agree with the above. Word of caution. A gfci is sensitive by nature. A refrigerator or freezer cycles on and off frequently, even more in the garage. This wears on the gfci and causes it to fail after several years in the off mode. I have seen this in both a panel installed gfci and one installed at the outlet. Best to have some way to easily check to make sure the appliance is on.
