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.

Why doesn't freezer work after laying on it's side?

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.


Which one exerts more force on the ground person standing up or laying down?

The force exerted by a person on the ground is the same whether they are standing up or laying down, as it is determined by their weight. The only difference is the distribution and contact area of the force between the feet when standing versus the whole body when laying down.

How do platypuses produce young?

Platypuses are egg-laying mammals, so they reproduce by laying eggs rather than giving birth to live young. The male platypus transfers sperm to the female using specialized structures on their hind legs, and the female will then lay eggs that hatch after about 10 days.


Does a human height differ while laying down?

In a way, this is true. If you measure your height before you go to sleep and then again when you wake up after a night of horizontal sleep, you could be as much as an inch taller. Your spine and the disks in your spine recover from the compression you experience during the day.Or if you mean simply lying down flat on the ground, then there can be a difference (by less than 2 inches).

Can the refrigertor be fixed after laying it down?

typically, a refrigerator should be transported upright, however, in the event that it has been laid on its side for transport, leaving it upright for a period of 24 hours without running will typically allow it to be used with no ill effect. However, if the refrigerator has been plugged in and the compressor has been run "dry" it may not be salvageable.


does it damage a refrigerator to lay it down?

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.

Is it possible to hatch the eggs in your refrigerator?

Chickens are one of the few animals that will lay infertile eggs. The eggs in your refrigerator would never hatch. That would be true even if they had never been in your refrigerator but had been in a nest. (A few chickens are put in pens with roosters. They lay fertile eggs. The eggs hatch and produce little chicks. Some of those will again grow up to be put in pens with roosters. Others will take the jobs of laying eggs. Others will become food.)
