While moving a Maytag Side-By-Side refrigerator down a ramp it tilted too far forward and fell on it's back. It was attached to the appliance dolly, and fell from about a 40 degree angle.
After we righted it and let it situp right for an hour, I plugged it in, and it seems to be working fine. Nothing that I can see was damages, and the compressor hums smoothly.
What damage may this have caused that may show up in the future?

The seat is connected with 2 bolts in the front and 2 nuts in the back...which are accessible by moving the seat backwards or forwards. There is really no way to just remove the cushions while the seat is in place.
So before seat removal ... I would cut a metal coat hanger. Bend so there is at least 2 feet straight with a about a 1/8"-1/4" small 90 degree bend at the end. I would fish that down from the front with the seat fully back ... between the console and seat ... as far down as you can and try hooking the ring ... even though you can not see it ... you may hit it and can push or pull it so you can then see it. But you are correct, that it could be in the track ... in which case the coat hanger will do nothing.
Then I would remove the 2 bolts up front and loosen the rear nuts but not totally remove the nuts. You could then hopefully just tilt the seat backwards without disconnecting all the wiring harnesses....to uncover the ring. If the ring is in the track ... you may have to totally remove remove the seat.
The front bolts may not be that easy to remove due to corrosion etc on an 18 year old car.
Good luck on your troubleshooting!

The screws are generally accessed by removing the insert in the front of the handle. If the holes in the door have enlargened, move the handle a couple of millimetres so the screws go in new holes which you can drill in the door.then refit the insert by snapping back into place.
You do not want to lay that refrigerator on its side because the refrigerant will leave the compressor and fill the system with liquid refrigerant where it should only be existing in a gaseous state, and if the refrigerator is tilted far enough over or lay-ed onto its side then the refrigerator will have to stand up-right and un-plugged for at least 24 hours before the liquid refrigerant will settle back down where it belongs, and then the refrigerator should actually function again if there was no other damage caused when moving the unit.
line it up with the posts on the ceiling of the refrigerator with the hooks down when it is even on both sides push it back about 3/4 of an inch and latch the clips. if you look at the side of the cover you will see the notchs on the sides of the cover. hope this helps.
The air that cools the refrigerator section comes from the freezer. The refrigerator temperature control controls the run cycle. You may have to replace or have the thermostat replaced. The temperature control has failed.
