Transporting Barfridge

should be ok - most fridges are okay as long as when you get there - stand it upright for half hour before turning it on - lets the gases settle etc - so I have been told by a fridgy

I was advised to stand the fridge back upright for 24 hours before switching it on.

Give it at least 2 hrs upright before starting it up this will allowthe gas and the oil time to run back to the compressor .We usually take a large domestic fridge if we are camping where there is power available saves a heap on ice and 2 or 3 families can share it.You also need a ute to transport it.Regarding the tec advice .We run a large refrigeration repair shop in Sydneys western suburbs and we often transport fridges on there sides.Hope this answers your query

I was told to stand it upright for one hour before turning back on after buying a deep freezer a couple of weeks ago.

I was told to stand it upside down for a month, then on each side to dint them evenly for 1 hour, then stand it up on your foot for 4 hours.....


theres a few different answers here.!!!!!

so how do you keep the beer cold while all this waiting and turning is going on ? I supose you could drink it to stop it getting hot , but then what would you need the fride for if you had no beer left to put in it ????????? Peter York 4x4

Jason,

We had a bar fridge lying down in the wagon from Perth to NQ many years ago. Stood it upright for 24 hours before switching it on and its been running for the 10 years since without missing a beat.
