Freezer in unattached garage in northern Ohio during the winter [View all]

Hi, I have a question about our small chest freezer. We remodeled our kitchen recently and moved the freezer out to our garage because we don't want it in the new kitchen. Will it be harmed by being out in our unheated garage all winter? I've been unplugging it when it goes below freezing. Thanks
