I know this question about f/freezers not working in cold garages etc has been on the forum before,but my question is ,can I wrap some insulation blanket or similar stuff round the thermostat that is sited near the compressor,assuming that is where the thermostat is sited,to make it think the room is warmer than it is.

A big no no , there's no stat at the back just compressor. If you do that it will overheat and poss catch fire. It Relys on cold are the cool comp done. Only thing you can do is leave it till warmer weather gets here or take it indoors. I got a 8 ft chest freezer in the garage 15 year old and it's showing -30 ice on the seals at the mo and I fix them all the time I just scrap it off and yes food is a block of ice. All will be back to normal in spring.
