Freezer will not start cooling after being transported or moved.

Safety: Do not attempt to open the sealed system. Risk of refrigerant release.

Steps:

• 1. Rest period: If the Toshiba freezer was transported on its side or tilted, leave it upright and unplugged for at least 4–6 hours (24 hours is ideal) to allow oil to drain back to the compressor.
• 2. Power on: After the rest period, plug in the freezer and allow several hours to see if cooling begins.
• 3. Listen for compressor: If the compressor hums briefly then clicks off repeatedly, the start device or compressor may be damaged.
• 4. Professional service: If cooling does not start after proper rest and basic checks, contact a Toshiba-authorized technician for compressor and start device diagnosis.
