We want to pick up freezer at the store but would need to haul it home on its back or side. Would it damage the freezer? null

Question

Transporting your Insignia™ 13.8 Cu. Ft. Garage Ready Convertible Upright Freezer on its back or side is not recommended. Doing so can cause the compressor oil to flow into the cooling lines, which can damage the freezer and affect its performance. For the safest transport, it's best to keep the freezer upright. If you have any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to ask! -Ed | Insignia Support | https://www.bestbuy.com/site/brands/best-buy-brands/pcmcat1596746025285.c?id=pcmcat1596746025285

Answer

The Google states that a freezer should be moved in an upright position. On its back could cause problems.

You can but would need it to be put in upright position for 24 hours before plugging in. has been a standard for many decades. The freon inside compressor needs to settle back to bottom before turning it on. Hope this helps
