This size is the most common upright GE sells for garages and basements, and most service calls are either defrost faults or door-seal problems. A freezer that loses temperature only occasionally is usually a door or airflow issue rather than a compressor issue.
After a long outage, judge food by temperature rather than appearance: food that has stayed at or below 0°F is still frozen, and anything that has warmed above 40°F for more than two hours should be discarded per FDA and USDA guidance. A thermometer left in the cabinet makes that decision simple.
