Upright & Chest Freezer - Running Amps

All of our Upright and Chest Freezers (excluding international models) function at 115V AC, 60 Hz and have approximately a 5 amp draw. Freezers typically draw extra current during start up, approximately 2x the running amp draw. The Freezer should be on a dedicated circuit. This is recommended for best performance and to prevent the overloading of house wiring circuits.

Determining the Running Amps for an Upright or Chest Freezer

The exact amps that an individual Freezer draws is listed on the rating plate and should be used if placing the Freezer on a generator or other auxiliary power source.
