Get a heavy duty extension cord and plug the freezer into a different
circuit. Freezers don't take all that much power so most receptacle
will do as long as it is on another breaker..

Garage circuits are often on GFCI breakers or receptacles. Freezers
should not be plugged unto them because the cause the problem you are
seeing.

Don't renew that home warranty either. You may have peace of mind, but
they are costly and rare that a homeowner comes out ahead. Put that
money in the bank and come out way ahead.
