Default Just replace the breaker with a new one.
You should be able to plug a freezer into any plug unless there is a problem with freezer and it is drawing too many amps for the circuit. Usually this occurs when the unit starts. I suspect you have either 15 or 20 amp circuits in your house which is normal.

I had a problem with just a regular plug in my house that would trip the breaker when using a vacuum cleaner. I had the breaker (not the plug) replaced with one of the same amps. Breakers do wear out. Just in case, while you have an electrician there, replace the plug as well.
