Two or more characters are locked in a walk-in freezer, meat locker, bank vault, or some other small, contained space where they're subjected to extreme cold, lack of oxygen, or both. Death is usually imminent. The characters talk a lot, often coming to a greater understanding of each other. Rescue comes in the nick of time. Sometimes.
Of course, in most places in real life such freezers have to be openable from the inside precisely to prevent this kind of thing from happening. The best treatments of this trope provide some explanation for why this isn't so. (e.g. The lock has been deliberately sabotaged in such way, the characters don't know how to open the door for some reason or there's something blocking the door on the outside, the characters are Bound and Gagged, etc.)
When not in normal use, many restaurant and hotel walk-in freezers are security-locked on the outside with a padlock and hasp to prevent against theft — not unreasonable as the contents can be worth a great deal of money. This may over-ride the safety release on the inside door. note Some designs have a glow in the dark wing-screw that is the hasp on the outside. Unscrew the wingnut, push the door, door opens without affecting padlock. While whoever locks up at night is legally expected to check first, there is potential scope here for dramatic potential. Workers dealing with walk-in freezers in Great Britain are legally entitled to a break every fifteen minutes at normal room temperature to guard against hypothermia...
When done deliberately, this is a kind of Death Trap.
Sometimes used as a Framing Device for a Clip Show, as parodied in the second (yes, second) episode of Clerks: The Animated Series. Also a good setup for a Bottle Episode, where the entire show takes place within that one room.
If the characters are locked in, but not in peril, they are simply Locked in a Room.
Sometimes used in conjunction with Snowed-In. One common variation is having all the characters go to a cabin, then having an avalanche trap them there. Since the peril takes place over a longer period of time, this usually allows for more Locked in a Room-style interpersonal interaction and Character Development. Another variation has the trapped characters being hostages in some sort of Sadistic Choice situation. Another, much more fun variation adds a pregnant woman and the inevitable Screaming Birth. This version usually takes place in an elevator, rather than a freezer. Sub-zero temperatures are not conducive to childbirth. Claustrophobia makes things interesting too. Another variation has trapped characters of the opposite sex warm each other with their bodies' heat, which leads to even greater understanding of each other.
Unrelated to Stuffed into the Fridge. In terms of temperatures, this is the opposite to Sauna of Death and Cooked to Death.

A variation occurs in Batman: The Telltale Series if Bruce opts to rat himself out as the traitor to Harley instead of ratting out Selina. You're trapped in one of Mr. Freeze's cryochambers and have to complete a set of quicktime events to escape before you freeze to death. Averted if Bruce rats out Selina, as they try to put her in one but she breaks it and they're forced to put her in a Riddler trap box instead.

We're Alive has has more of a "trapped in a freezer by flesh eating zombies" variety. Also, since there's no electricity, the threat of freezing is exchanged for the stomach turning smell of rotting meat.

In the novel (and subsequent film) Coma, the heroine manages to lure the hitman trying to kill her into her medical school anatomy lab and locks him in, barely escaping herself. When he's finally found, he's suffering significant frostbite and hypothermia and facing amputation of his legs.

Batman (1966) has at least one or two episodes in which the Dynamic Duo are trapped in this manner by Mr. Freeze, usually at temperatures of -20F or less. In one instance, as the shrinking square of heat becomes only big enough for one person, both Batman and Robin jump out to spare the other. Batman grabs Robin and puts him right back in. How does he get out of it? Thermal Bat-underwear.

You Find Yourself In A Room is a philosophical text adventure game with no pictures. The adventure starts kind of creepy but is okay. There a few nonsensical things and the game slowly realizes that it hates you. The game is eternal and you find yourself in a room. To escape, you have to tell it that it has become "corrupted" and become somewhat human. You are unable to tell it that you want to drink the blood, though...

When Princess Carolyn and BoJack have a fight in a resturant in BoJack Horseman, they at one point go into the freezer to talk things over in private, and their heated argument turns into them laughing over good memories and listing each other's good points.

Bones: Booth is locked in a ship rigged to blow by the Gravedigger, with the ghost of CPL Teddy Parker, Parker Booth's namesake. Booth gets a chance to resolve some issues from his Army days.
This, combined with Buried Alive is the Gravedigger's MO, typically the victims are buried in a capsule of some sort (a car or some other large container) with enough air to last 24 hours. They then put them up for ransom. Two little boys died despite the ransom being paid because the Gravedigger had forgotten to make sure there was enough air for both of them, and the same thing almost happened to Bones and Hodgins when she stumbled across the kidnapping-in-progress.

CSI: NY:
A variation in "Trapped" has Danny sealed in the victim's time-locked panic room with the corpse. Unlike most examples of this trope, his life isn't seriously in jeopardy; rather, it's the evidence he has to salvage in haste, using improvised materials, before decomposition sets in and ruins the clues.
They do, however, find a dead body that had been stored in a freezer in "Zoo York" which, coincidentally, was earlier in the same season.
In the season 3 finale, "Snow Day," former M.E. Sheldon Hawkes captures one of the perps, stows him in one of the morgue's cold storage drawers, and shoves a heavy cabinet in front of it so he can't escape.

The Star Trek: Enterprise episode "Shuttlepod One" has Malcolm Reed and Trip Tucker stuck on the eponymous shuttlepod, seemingly the last survivors of their crew. It's this episode that starts the two of them on the path to developing a genuine friendship. However, the real problem here is the danger of running out of oxygen. They deliberately shut off the heating only to preserve as much oxygen as they can.

Matsuzaka, from High School Debut, decided to lock Haruna and Yoh inside the school basement's freezer as revenge for Haruna beating her in softball during middle school. Subverted, however, in that Matsuzaka only planned to lock them in there long enough for them to start fighting over supplies (one blanket, one piece of chocolate, etc.) and eventually break up, leaving Haruna heartbroken. Completely backfired, obviously.

An episode of The Dukes of Hazzard in which Uncle Jesse and Boss Hogg trapped together in an airtight bank vault subverts this somewhat. The characters come to the required greater understanding of each other, even becoming friendly as the air grows thin. Them Duke Boys show up in the nick of time, and after the rescue mirthfully point out the air vent in the seemingly airtight vault, turning it into Locked in a Room.

Neighbours:
In one episode, the characters Melissa and Josh get trapped together in the freezer in Lassiters Kitchen late at night, when sneaking in there to determine whether or not Paul Robinson is using eco friendly tuna. Josh points out that the door can be opened from the inside but neither of them realise that a kitchen hand who is locking up has placed a padlock on the outside of the door. They end up having to spend the night together in the freezer as there is nobody in the kitchen to hear the emergency alarm and when they are eventually rescued by another kitchen hand the following morning, Paul gets angry with them and demands that they pay for the damage caused.
In another episode Paul and Sheila get trapped in the cold storage room at Lassiters due to Paul not realising until its too late that the door handle on the inside is broken.

Jason and Jessica spend almost the entirety of How to Rob a Bank locked in a bank vault. Although the danger of suffocation is not mentioned (although presumably it would become an issue if the siege went on long enough), attempting to leave is liable to get them shot by either the armed criminals inside the bank or the armed police outside it.

Spooks episodes "I Spy Apocalypse" and "Diana" both featured the main cast locked down in the Grid, apparently in mortal danger:
The former episode saw a scheduled lock-down exercise turn into the real thing (or so it seemed) after reports of a real chemical attack on London reached the Grid.
The latter featured the entire cast being held hostage by a deranged ex-co-worker who had a bomb and a bone to pick about Princess Diana's death. Turned out the bomb was a fake, and the hostage situation was part of an elaborate ruse to trick the Royal Family into moving to a "safe location" which had a real bomb planted in the walls.

Lucy, the Daughter of the Devil had something of a subversion; the title character was locked in a freezer at work... but the actual danger was that she was locked in with a convicted sex offender obsessed with her.

This is how Charlene and Jack from Naked Weapon finally gets to bond. She's a Professional Killer, he's a rookie cop investigating her various assasinations, and when he attempts to chase her down after catching her assasinating a target both Charlene and Jack inexplicably got themselves trapped in a container truck transporting frozen meat.

An interesting heat variation in 100 Cupboards, where several characters are kidnapped and transported in the hold of a slave galley, which is overheated partly due to the number of slaves crammed into the space and partly because it's summer. This is portrayed as uncomfortable but not dangerous for most of the characters - with the exception of Token Wizard Monmouth, who is tied up, stuffed in a kelp-woven bag and hung from the ceiling, where the heat is more severe. He's shown as being in serious danger of death by dehydration and heat stress, and other characters note that he can't survive long.

Discworld:
Men at Arms has Odd Couple Cuddy and Detritus locked in a freezer as part of becoming Buddy Cops. Due to the setting, Magitek has to be invoked to justify the existence of the freezer in the first place. Cuddy got out when Detritus threw him out of a window…
One quirk of troll biology is that their intelligence increases as the temperature decreases. This incident causes Detritus, normally Dumb Muscle, to become a mathematical genius and begin scrawling a Unified Theory of Everything in the frost across the walls. Unfortunately, trolls are still capable of freezing to death, and Detritus collapses just after writing the ‘=‘. He’s rescued just in time, but all his work melts before anyone can record it and he loses any comprehension of it as soon as he’s brought outside.
In the later novel Thud!, it is discovered that at the legendary battle of Koom Valley, the Kings of Dwarfs and Trolls, trapped in a cave, had played the titular board game while waiting for death. This leads to a détente between the two races.

The Big Bang Theory:
One of Sheldon Cooper's more practical and sensible ideas is for the rest of the core crew to acclimatize for a trip to the North Pole by spending time inside the lock-up deep freeze room at the Cheesecake Factory. Irked by a passing Sheldon insult, Penny invites him to reflect on the fact the freezer may only be opened from the outside and she might just go a bit deaf...
And Howard, Raj and Leonard spend three months locked in a freezer with Sheldon — on the grand scale — while on a research trip well above the Arctic Circle. Howard dismisses the idea of building a crossbow, figuring that the most elegant engineering solution to the problem of offing Sheldon will be with an icicle.

An episode of Cops: L.A.C., has this happen to Nathan and Priscilla in the Cold Open, appropriately enough. While responding to an armed robbery of a pub, Nathan finds a staff member in the cool room, and when Priscilla follows him in she accidentally lets the door close behind them. They're released by the end of the opening credits, but Priscilla gets mocked for it for the rest of the episode.

Kenan & Kel:
In one episode, Kel mistakes the freezer for a restroom in a restaurant due to a faulty sign, which he himself knocked over just then and accidentally placed in the wrong direction. New people keep coming in and locking the door behind themselves before the others can stop them. Eventually the entirety of the restaurant, from the staff to the customers, except for one guy, end up trapped in the freezer. Eventually, that one guy needed to go to the restroom, which results in everybody but him and the main characters running out free.
In another, Kel, trying to explain to the cops how they all ended up in a bank vault, locks himself, Kel, and the cops inside, prompting the show's catchphrase from Kenan: WHHHYYYYYYYY?

At the end of the Fallout: New Vegas quest "The Legend of the Star/A Valuable Lesson", you find the corpse of a thief who was locked in the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters vault and suffocated to death, and he also happens to be carrying your prize, along with a holotape of his last moments. In Dead Money, the Courier can die a special death by being locked in the Sierra Madre Vault, or they can do the same to Elijah.
In the Beyond the Beef quest, you are instructed to rescue Ted Gunderson from the Ultra-Luxe's basement freezer, and you can also trick the chef into locking himself in there, or lock one of your companions in it as a substitute meal for the banquet.

This happens in the Red Dwarf episode "Marooned" with a slight twist, as Lister is in mortal danger, but hologram Rimmer is not.

The Silent Hill series did this several times, for example the Flesh Lip/Hanger Boss Battle where Laura locks you in a room in the hospital. Other examples: the Bug Room in the Historical Society, where James is locked in a room with bloodthirsty insects and his flashlight battery goes dead, and the Bloody Mirror Room in Evil Brookhaven Hospital (SH3), where the door locks and Heather's life slowly drains, but the door unlocks just in time, when the reflection stops moving. Not to be confused with the Boss Battle with Eddie that takes place in a literal meat freezer, where you aren't forcibly locked in.

Stargate:
During season 1 of Stargate SG-1, Carter and O'Neill are trapped in Antarctica (which they think is an ice planet) when the gate malfunctions (due to it being fired at by enemy Jaffa). Carter digs out the DHD from a block of ice and tries to dial Earth, but fails since they're already on Earth. So they spend a while talking before Daniel Jackson's idea gets them rescued, right when O'Neill is about to die from the cold and a broken leg.
Stargate Atlantis:
"Grace Under Pressure": Rodney and a Red Shirt are flying back to base when their shuttle malfunctions, crashing into the sea. After the other guy sacrifices himself for him, Rodney finds himself in a race against time to escape, alone on the bottom of the sea as the leaking cargo hold slowly fills with water. He spends the episode arguing first with the Puddle-jumper (an inanimate object) and then with an amorous hallucination of Sam Carter.
In another episode, Sheppard and the pregnant Teyla end up in this situation. The former references the pregnant woman subtrope, but all that happens is Teyla has her baby kick a couple of times.
The season 4 episode "Trio" has Carter, McKay, and Keller all trapped in a room in an unstable Genii mine, where they try to build their way out through various schemes. Also, a few children show up who could send for help, but only mock the team's plight instead. So they have to get themselves out after all.

Being autistic, Dodo doesn't know how to get himself out after locking the door, and when Dodo's brother Tat arrives later to bail him out, Tat has to use the Air-Vent Passageway instead.

Used with some regularity in the Macross series. In the original Super Dimension Fortress Macross (aka season 1 of Robotech), Hikaru/Rick and Minmey are trapped in actually a very LARGE area of the SDF-1, but as the ship is massive and not fully understood even by the crew, they have no way out and run the risk of starvation before being rescued. In Macross Frontier, Alto, Sheryl and Ranka are trapped in a small, hardened combat shelter (to shield them from the local area being reduced to vacuum) and the air recycling gives out.

In the Goosebumps novel Egg Monsters From Mars, the twelve-year-old hero is locked in a deep freezer with the eponymous Egg Monsters. They form a blanket over him so he will not freeze, and eventually he escapes. Now consider the implications of this given that the book ends with him laying an egg on the front lawn. Yeah.

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, a more literal version is used in a Fire Nation prison (the titular The Boiling Rock), where the punishment for firebending is to be locked in a freezer. Zuko has already demonstrated the ability to survive prolonged submersion in arctic waters, so it's nothing to him. Played straight in The Cave of Two Lovers, where the Gaang and a group of traveling hippies are trapped in a cave. The danger is primarily from roving beasts and being lost forever in a maze that's constantly shifting.

This is what can happen in one mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas. Your lawyer friend will get scared by the gun fight and runs to a meat locker to hide in. If you follow him in and there's mooks around, a mook can actually lock you and your friend inside the freezer, which will show a wide angle shot of a player and Ken Rosenberg along with the message "Mission Failed: You are trapped in the freezer with Rosenberg". After this, the player will respawn on Las Venturas Hospital as if they was wasted. They will lose all their weapons and ammo (with the exception of money like a normal way of dying) if this situation happens unless dating Katie Zhan.

This happened to Sam in an episode of Rocket Power, although it wasn't the focus of the episode — it was to show that everyone was ignoring him the entire episode because of Otto's mischief.

In Mass Effect 3: Citadel, the villain traps Shepard and his/her entire crew in an impregnable vault in the Citadel Archives, steals his/her identity, and then steals his/her catchphrase for good measure. Shepard is mostly concerned about the latter because Glyph, Liara's floating information drone, is still outside and can simply open the vaults.

Steven Universe: In "Friend Ship", Pearl and Garnet, who have had a strained relationship for the past several episodes, find themselves trapped in a room that is closing in on them. They finally talk to each other and Pearl apologizes for taking advantage of Garnet in "Cry for Help". They end up forming Sardonyx, who uses her drill to get out of the room.

One Life to Live had some episodes involving Viki and Dorian, two of the show's older characters, where trapped in a cave following an avalanche. They learned to respect each other, as well as dreamed of what it was like to be each other.
In fact, their last scene together was when they were locked in a conference room due to the door jamming. They spent much of the episode remembering the fond memories of each other and the friendship they developed.

In BioShock, you have to turn over your weapons to enter Fontaine Fisheries, then Peach Wilkins locks you in the freezer to fight him along with Splicers and Security Bots with only your wrench and plasmids.
There's also the disturbing frozen tunnel leading to Poseidon Plaza later in the game. Just a few seconds in, A splicer named Martin Finnegan freezes you from behind, eyes you over, and considers making you into an ice statue. Then after thawing, you have to battle him and take a picture of his body for Sander Cohen.

Sanitarium started a level where you had a limited amount of time to unlock a morgue freezer door or die. It even showed your breath when door was closed and everything is frozen, and the breath clouds and ice disappear when it is opened. That, plus a person stuck in one of the storage cabinets defrosts.

In the episode "Baby It's Cold Inside" of Three's Company, Jack and Mr. Furley are locked inside Mr. Angelino's freezer after they were robbed. While inside and thinking they were going to die, Jack tells Mr. Furley that he isn't gay.
Jack, Janet, Cindy and Mr. Furley fake being trapped in an elevator to try to scare Bart Furley into giving Ralph his job back, only to find that Bart is no longer claustrophobic after buying the building just to own an elevator to overcome his fears. (Upon hearing this, it is Ralph that gets claustrophobic.)

In a scene in the Star Trek novel The Final Reflection by John M. Ford, the protagonist (a Klingon captain) and two loyal subordinates are locked in his ship's walk-in freezer by a traitor. The situation is even more serious for the hero than usual because Klingon biology is keyed to very warm temperatures; while trying to escape, he remembers stories about exposure to subzero temperatures causing the blood to freeze in other Klingons' surface capillaries and the skin to turn black and slough off "like bark from a tree".

The NCIS episode "Boxed In" sees Tony and Ziva locked into a shipping container by gun-toting smugglers. It doesn't result in any appreciable change in their relationship, but it does capitalize on their Unresolved Sexual Tension.
Somewhat irrelevant, but according to the DVD commentary, the container they were filming in was actually really, really hot, to the point that the actors had to be swabbed off between takes.
Additionally, the season 10 premier episode "Extreme Prejudice" has Tony and Ziva trapped in an elevator. The danger in this circumstance comes from possible heat exhaustion and the fact that half the building just exploded and could potentially come crashing down upon them at any moment. The writers took this as another opportunity to cash in on their Unresolved Sexual Tension with arguably better results…

An episode of Disney's Recess had this happen as the end result. When Spinelli was given tickets to a wrestling match by the bratty Ashley group, she and her friends were naturally suspicious, except for Mikey and Gus. After many attempts to learn what the trick was, Spinelli, T.J, Vincent, and Gretchen finally broke into the Ashleys' clubhouse where they discovered that the tickets were genuine. Unfortunately, the clubhouse's security system locked down, resulting in them trapped while Gus and Mikey went to the fight.

In the Gumby movie, the Blockheads lure Gumby and the Clayboys into a disguised freezer truck and bring them to a robotics lab to be cloned, locking the originals in a freezer cell afterward. Being made of clay, this only renders the characters unconscious until Pokey and several other characters arrive to save them. The uncut VHS copy also inverts the trope when Prickle leaves the cell's heat on too long, leaving the Clayboys as melted blobs. Luckily, Professor Kapp revives them with an acoustic device.

Men at Arms has Odd Couple Cuddy and Detritus locked in a freezer as part of becoming Buddy Cops. Due to the setting, Magitek has to be invoked to justify the existence of the freezer in the first place. Cuddy got out when Detritus threw him out of a window…
One quirk of troll biology is that their intelligence increases as the temperature decreases. This incident causes Detritus, normally Dumb Muscle, to become a mathematical genius and begin scrawling a Unified Theory of Everything in the frost across the walls. Unfortunately, trolls are still capable of freezing to death, and Detritus collapses just after writing the ‘=‘. He’s rescued just in time, but all his work melts before anyone can record it and he loses any comprehension of it as soon as he’s brought outside.

In The Stand (at least the uncut version) there is a series of vignettes about how people who were immune to the superflu died of other causes. A particularly nasty woman who was overjoyed at the death of her husband and child manages to lock herself in a walk-in freezer. The power was off, so she didn't freeze to death but she could die of starvation and thirst. No big loss.

Due South did this a couple of times. Once in an actual meat locker: Fraser and Ray wrapped themselves in meat in an attempt to keep warm. Then, in another episode, Fraser and Ray have locked themselves in a bank vault (Intentionally; Fraser's idea) to prevent a bank robbery and then... rigged the sprinkler system to slowly fill it with water (also intentionally, also Fraser's idea), not only adding danger and speeding up their buddy talk but saving the day when the bank vault is finally blown open and thousands of gallons of water deluge the crooks, allowing the duo to take them out.
There was also the time that Fraser and his superior officer, Meg Thatcher, were locked into a giant egg incubator. This lead to a certain amount of stripping, sexual tension, and a near-death near-confession.

Ashes to Ashes (2008):
Season 1, episode 4: Gene and Alex are locked in an airtight (and overheated) vault while searching a government facility. As is typical for any encounter involving, well, Gene Hunt, no one's feelings are directly discussed, but shirts are removed and Alex gets to come face-to-face with her fear of death.
In a later episode, Alex, on her own, gets locked in a walk-in freezer.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind and The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion there is a short story about this. Even thought it's named The Locked Room, a thirsty ancient vampire definitely makes it the dangerous variant.

Under the Rainbow has a scene where Chevy Chase and Carrie Fisher's characters get trapped in this manner. For Fisher, it's made worse by the fact that she's clad only in bra and panties (leading to a You Must Be Cold moment).

SpongeBob SquarePants:
In "SB-129", Squidward runs into the Krusty Krab on a Sunday to get away from SpongeBob and Patrick but accidentally locks himself in the freezer, where he is frozen in place for two thousand years and awakens in the distant future.
"Truth or Square", has SpongeBob, Patrick, Squidward and Mr. Krabs trapped in the freezer during the Krusty Krab's anniversary celebration. They attempt an Air-Vent Passageway escape but spend most of the episode lost in a maze of vents, which is where most of the other aspects of this trope play out. Spain and Latin America even went so far as to actually call the episode "Stuck in the Freezer".

The Warhammer 40,000 novel, Atlas Infernal by Rob Sanders has the protagonists attempting to escape an enemy fleet intent on capturing them by purposely flying into a "cold star" (called a Kryonova, it saps all heat from the area around it, should not be possible, but being deep in the Negative Space Wedgie that is the Eye of Terror, you are lucky if it is only the laws of physics working backwards) to inflict Locked in a Freezer on their pursuers as well as themselves. To keep from freezing all the way to death and their ship becoming brittle and shattering under its own physics like their pursuers, they set their ship's fusion core to critical meltdown in an attempt to counteract the heat-sapping effects of getting near the Kryonova. Naturally this ruins their ship, but a last minute intervention by the Magnificent Bastard Monster Clown Harliquins sees them safely out of the Eye and into the much safer Webway. The purpose of their intervention isn't quite as nice as it seems...

Doctor Who:
"Terror of the Zygons": The Zygons lock the Doctor and Sarah in a decompression chamber and start draining out the oxygen. The Doctor saves Sarah by getting her to stare into his Hypnotic Eyes and mesmerising her into a trance so deep that she ceases to breathe.
"Amy's Choice": The Doctor, Amy, and Rory are trapped by a man who calls himself "The Dream Lord". In one reality, they're being swarmed by instant-death-gas-spewing aliens. In the other, the TARDIS is slowly drifting toward a "cold star" — that is, a star that emits cold instead of heat. At the end, the real one turns out to be neither. It was all a hallucination caused by psychic pollen. This episode is also important to this trope because it is while trapped in the dream reality (after Rory is killed by one of the aliens, who turns him to dust) that Amy realizes it is really Rory she loves.

Inverted in the Sealab 2021 episode "In The Closet": sure, Murphy, Sparks, Debbie, Marco, and Quinn are trapped in a closet that's got a broken lock, but at least they're not in Sealab itself, which is being overrun by ravenous Guatemalan fighting dogs that Murphy hadn't fed in ten days. Guess what happens to Stormy.
The episode "Cavemen" leaves Quinn and Stormy in a Catch-22. They're trapped in an underwater cave with no way to call for help. If they leave, a shark will kill them. If they stay, they'll run out of oxygen and die anyway. They choose to go out via oxygen deprivation.

In the animated film Flushed Away, the hero's first encounter with the villain culminates in their being trapped in a freezer (?), about to be frozen with liquid nitrogen. Naturally, they escape within half a minute; the two henchmen we see the most of during the film get frozen instead (they went to check on the prisoners), but later get free (and aren't dead).

Toyed with in Hana no Ko Lunlun. A little girl from Sicily is trapped in an unused freezer while playing hide-and-seek with her friends and the man who opens said freezer and saves her is actually a Punch-Clock Villain who's on the run and has great lockpicking skills. Later, Lunlun tries to stop a robbery and gets locked in a tightair vault; the Punch-Clock Villain hesitates at first since he might get caught right before the Statute of Limitations kicks in, but ultimately goes saves her... and when he's done, the state has already passed by five minutes, so the policeman in charge lets him go as a free man and even congratulates him on a work well done.

Stargate Atlantis:
"Grace Under Pressure": Rodney and a Red Shirt are flying back to base when their shuttle malfunctions, crashing into the sea. After the other guy sacrifices himself for him, Rodney finds himself in a race against time to escape, alone on the bottom of the sea as the leaking cargo hold slowly fills with water. He spends the episode arguing first with the Puddle-jumper (an inanimate object) and then with an amorous hallucination of Sam Carter.
In another episode, Sheppard and the pregnant Teyla end up in this situation. The former references the pregnant woman subtrope, but all that happens is Teyla has her baby kick a couple of times.
The season 4 episode "Trio" has Carter, McKay, and Keller all trapped in a room in an unstable Genii mine, where they try to build their way out through various schemes. Also, a few children show up who could send for help, but only mock the team's plight instead. So they have to get themselves out after all.

Star Trek: Voyager:
Tom and B'Elanna's Relationship Upgrade in "Day of Honor" comes as a result of an imminent-death-admission-of-attraction while they are stuck in spacesuits running out of oxygen with Voyager out of range of their comms and their shuttle destroyed.
Also an interesting variant in the appropriately-titled episode "One", in which Seven of Nine is forced to run the ship by herself for six days after the Doctor's mobile holo-emitter malfunctions with the rest of the crew in cryo-stasis due to the hostile environment and, due to her history as a Borg drone (and thus member of a collective consciousness), she suffers much more severe psychological effects of the isolation than a human would.

MacGyver (1985):
"Last Stand" has MacGyver and a fellow hostage locked in a freezer by a sadistic armed robber. It's only part of the episode, and Mac gets the two of them out instead of just sitting around awaiting rescue, but the statutory amount of heart-to-heart talking still manages to take place.
A clearer example of the trope, notwithstanding that no freezers are involved, is "Phoenix Under Siege", with MacGyver and his estranged grandfather trapped in a room with a time bomb.
Yet another example in "Soft Touch", when Penny and a Russian defector are locked in an actual freezer by assassins, leaving Mac to get them out. No heart to heart talk in this one though (since the two first met that very day).

I Love Lucy, "The Freezer". They actually did this twice; there is another episode during the story arc where they go to Europe, and they get caught in a cabin in Switzerland that's buried under tons of snow. But in the freezer episode only Lucy is trapped.

Happens to Junpei, June and Santa in Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors. It first seems to be a murder attempt by Lotus, but is cleared up to be a trap of sorts.

Though it didn't involve being locked in a room, a similar situation occurred in the episode "Cold War". Yumi was pinned under a tree in normal winter clothes while the temperature dropped below arctic levels. Ulrich refused to leave her side despite all his efforts to save her failing. Considered a main Tear Jerker moment by fans.
An earlier example was in "Ultimatum" where XANA possesses the school principal and kidnaps Odd and Yumi, taking them to a freezer warehouse. Neither of them hold up well with Yumi getting the shivers so badly Odd gets worried enough about her safety that he yells at XANA for endangering her more than necessary for the apparent plan.

Subverted in the Babylon 5 episode "Convictions". Mortal enemies G'kar and Londo Mollari are locked into a sealed elevator with a fire blazing just outside. G'kar spends the entire time happily hoping they die before they're found, since it would mean he can watch Londo die without being found culpable for it. They're rescued in the nick of time, half-dead from heat exhaustion and smoke inhalation. When the rescuers open the elevator door, the first thing the two do (following G'kar's Big "NO!" since this means they'll both survive) is to feebly exchange Volleying Insults, indicating they hate each other even more than before.

Only Fools and Horses has one very moving scene where Del and Rodney are trapped in an elevator — Rodney's wife has recently miscarried, and Del finally manages to get him to talk about it. It is eventually revealed that Del hit the emergency stop himself, just to trap Rodney into talking.

Pokémon: The Original Series: The episode "Snow Way Out" had Ash and his Pokémon trapped in a snow cave during a blizzard, trying to warm themselves off of Charmander's tail. Ash shields a windy cave opening with his body, and the Pokémon refuse to return to their Poké Balls, opting to stay cold with their trainer instead.

Played straight in the limited series/graphic novel Arkham Asylum: Living Hell. Main character Warren White, "the Great White Shark", sent to the eponymous madhouse to escape jail time, finds himself spending several months severely abused by the inmates and asylum employees, culminating to one night where truly psychotic inmate, Jane Doe, kidnaps White during a asylum-wide communications blackout and takes him to the freezer usually used for storing Mr. Freeze. White is then tortured by Doe, discovers that she is going to replace him using a mansuit, made with real skin, and locked in said freezer with the temperature lowered down to an extreme subzero state. The result is White losing several of his fingers, hair, ears and nose and upper lip to frostbite, making for some horrific imagery. He is eventually saved by, of all people, the ghost of the man who White had pushed to suicide, who wished to haunt White, but ultimately ended up being unable to do so. This all leads up to White's descent into madness that turns him into a "super" villain.

Night Court had a classic "Locked In an Elevator" episode, where Dan was locked in with Roz and two sumo wrestlers.
Another episode had Harry locking himself inside a tiny, airtight safe.
