re: Deep Freeze/GFI Issue

Branch circuit, I had a similar layout in my Garage, all my outlets were on the same branch and before going into the panel they ran through a GFI plug, nothing else plugged in but sometimes my deep freeze would trip it. I had a couple open fuses in my panel so I had an electrician run a new outlet directly to the panel.

I am not an electrician.
the GFCI plug is on the same circuit as the other plugs so the whole line is being protected by the one GFCI outlet. sounds like it is faulty or you have a bad ground on that circuit. the easiest fix is to change that GFCI with another one. If that doesn't fix it then you have something resisting on the line. for that you need an electrician.
the best thing though is to run a new line for the freezer so you won't come back from a vacation and have a stinky mess.
