Standalone freezers typically last 12 to 20 years, with chest freezers averaging longer lifespans than upright models due to simpler design and better cold retention. Signs of end-of-life include the compressor running constantly, frost building up rapidly after defrosting, inconsistent temperatures, and visible rust on interior surfaces.
