Refrigerator will not start after being moved or transported.

Safety first: Ensure the refrigerator is upright and stable before plugging in.

• Upright rest: If the unit was laid on its side, leave it upright and unplugged for at least 12–24 hours to allow oil to return to the compressor.
• Attempt restart: After resting, plug in and allow several hours to see if cooling begins.
• Check start device: If still not starting, inspect and replace the compressor start relay/overload as needed.
• Service call: Persistent failure to start may indicate compressor damage requiring professional service.
