Moving a fridge
Picking up a second hand fridge from around the corner. Very short trip. Can you transport a fridge on its side if you stand it upright where it's going to go and don't turn it on for a few days? Or does transporting on its side ruin it?

I'm pretty sure it's all about the oil in the motors settling.
That is why they say to stand it up and let it sit for a while.
Who knows, maybe motors are different now and have sealed bearings or something.
after a day I'm sure it will be fine.
I have laid them down before

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

I wouldn't worry about it...it's not like they carry them upright. If you're paranoid, just block it in the truck so it's never really horizontal.

It's the oil in the compressor you don't want it to mix with the refrigerant or to go into the lines
If you have a pick up truck just stand it up and strap it in

As seen on TV; Forearm Forklifts. They work. Period. Makes moving a refridgerator almost easy. Google them.

never forget
i once had a prepaid job....of four hours labor to move 8 refrigerators all identical from 8 apartments. 4 up, four down. All the downstairs refrigerators had to go up and all the upper refrigerators had to go downstairs. I did it in two hours by myself. It was a test.
i got plenty of work after that.

I bought a new freezer from Sears. When this 8' tall Jamaican opened up the back door of the truck my freezer was strapped to the side of the truck on its side. Works fine. I have been told like the others here, just let it sit a day or two and then tun it on.
