Thank you for your question regarding the Frigidaire 3.1 Cu. Ft. Mini Fridge with Built-In Freezer in Silver. It is not recommended to transport a refrigerator on its side. Refrigerators are designed to be transported in an upright position to protect the compressor and internal components. Laying the unit on its side can cause oil from the compressor to flow into the cooling lines, which may lead to damage when the fridge is powered on. If transportation on its side is unavoidable, allow the refrigerator to sit upright for at least the same amount of time it was on its side (or a minimum of 4–6 hours) before plugging it in. This allows the compressor oil to return to its proper place and helps prevent potential damage. Transporting the fridge upright whenever possible is the safest approach and will help maintain its performance and longevity. - Jessica
