Honest opinion
Practitioner take on Long Beach freezer service.
Year 12+ standalone chest or upright freezer with compressor failure on mid-tier (Whirlpool, GE, Frigidaire) is usually replace, not repair. $880-1,400 compressor on a $400-800 chest freezer at end of design life doesn't pencil. Built-in Sub-Zero columns at year 12+ usually justify repair because chassis is built for 18-25 year service and the install cost makes replacement prohibitive.
