Laying a refrigerator down can potentially damage it, particularly if it's done incorrectly. Compressors and other internal components may become misaligned or damaged, and oil can flow into the cooling lines, which can lead to operational issues. If a refrigerator must be transported on its side, it's advisable to let it stand upright for several hours before plugging it in to allow any displaced oil to settle back into the compressor.
