First of all, you are not supposed to lay it down. You have to stand it up and leave it that way for a few hours and let the freon to settle back. You may have damaged the compressor by plugging it too soon.

Why doesn't my freezer work after laying refrigerator on its side during a move?

Oil runs out of the compressor into the return and discharge lines. With the freezer upright, you should wait atleast three times the amount of time the freezer was turned on its side to allow the oil to migrate back into the compressor. Attempting to turn it on before then may draw the oil further into the lines and also cause the compressor to seize up. A freezer can be moved on its side as long as it is on the side opposite of the return and discharge lines. This is why some people have had no problems transporting a freezer on its side and they work right away. They got lucky due to a 50:50 chance. I know this stuff because I was one of the unlucky ones who did not know any of this and found out the hard way.


Can you put a chest freezer next to a radiator?

It is not recommended to put a chest freezer next to a radiator as the heat from the radiator can affect the freezer's performance. The increased temperature can cause the freezer to work harder to maintain its cool temperature, leading to higher energy consumption and potential damage to the freezer. It is best to place the chest freezer in a cool and well-ventilated area away from heat sources.


Why does a fairly full freezer work best?

A full freezer retains cold temperatures more effectively because the frozen items help to maintain the low temperature. This reduces the amount of warm air that enters the freezer when the door is opened, helping to keep items inside properly frozen. It also increases the thermal mass, making the freezer more efficient at staying cold.


How does a pool heater work?

A pool heater typically uses either gas or electricity to generate heat, which is then transferred to the pool water through a heat exchanger. The heated water is circulated back into the pool to raise the overall temperature. The heater can be adjusted to maintain a desired temperature setting for the pool.


Will a freezer still work after being transported horizontally?

If you stand it up the proper way and let it set for a couple days, the freon will make its way back through the orifice and it should work again. The problem comes from liquid freon getting into the condenser coils.

Why is your freezer cold but not your refrigerator?

Strangely enough fridges and feezers actually need to have stuff inside them to work properly. A fridge or a freezer will work best when they are about 60-75% full. If they are too empty or too full then they won't be as cold.
