Like you say, it shouldn't be. I don't know how a home warranty
works, but it would be worth a try to get a separate outlet installed
for the freezer.

I think new codes even require the freezer on a GFCI (in the garage),
but it shouldn't be so overloaded that it trips. The freezer should
be on a separate circuit, even if that separate circuit is a GFCI.
