“Transported the fridge upright, but when unboxing I put it on its side for not even a minute. I plugged it in about an hour later. Now it’s gone silent? Is it broken, or does the compressor just stop sometimes?”

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It's understandable to be concerned about your new Insignia™ Retro 3.1 cu. ft. Mini Fridge. Here are a few things to consider: 1. Compressor Rest Period: After moving the fridge, especially if it was laid on its side, it's recommended to let it stand upright for at least 4-6 hours before plugging it in. This allows the compressor oil to settle back into place. 2. Initial Silence: It's normal for the fridge to be silent initially as the compressor may take some time to start. This can be especially true if it was plugged in shortly after being on its side. 3. Check Power: Ensure the fridge is properly plugged in and the outlet is working. You can test the outlet with another device to confirm. 4. Temperature Settings: Make sure the temperature dial inside the fridge is set to a cooling mode and not turned off. If the fridge remains silent and doesn't start cooling after a few hours, it might be best to contact Insignia customer support or Best Buy for further assistance. They can help determine if there's an issue with the unit. I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions or need further assistance.
