Whats the best way to transport my fridge or freezer?
If you have to transport the fridge you can lay it on its side. It’s best if the hinges are at the top so the doors don’t fall open. After moving, you should leave it stand upright at least an hour before plugging it in. This is because when horizontal, the oil in the compressor will seep into the refrigerant lines plugging them, Also by starting the unit when there is insufficient oil in the compressor will seize the motor/compressor and it won’t ever start again. The idea is to give it time to let the oil settle back into the compressor harmlessly. However, the less time it’s on its side the better.
