Q: QuestionFreezer has a standard 3 prong plug but specs state 20Amps. Can I plug this into a standard 15 amp three prong plug or do I need a 20 amp curcuit with a 3 prong plug?

Asked 3 years ago by george.

• A:Answer Hello- We appreciate you checking with us. We are happy to help! Upright and chest freezers require a 120 volt, individual, properly grounded branch circuit with a 3 prong grounding type receptacle, protected by a 15 or 20 amp circuit breaker or time-delay fuse. The freezer should be on a dedicated circuit. You can plug this into a 15 Amp plug as long as it is a dedicated circuit. If you have any questions in the future, please let us know. We are always happy to help! Joyce@GEA

Q: QuestionThe specification for the FUF17DLR GE upright freezer is 31 3/8" deep. My door frames are not that wide. How deep is the freezer with the freezer door and hinges removed? How wide does the door frame need to be to get the freezer into the room?
