Need to move a dtyer. can it be laid on its back in truck?

I am not familiar with the brand but cushioned vinyl can be laid under just about anything as long as you accept the downside - permanent pressure on the vinyl will cause sinkage over time until the deformation becomes permanent so should the fridge or washer, for instance needs moving at some future time, will be so deeply embedded they will need lifting out of the indentations as attempting to slide or roll them out would likely need a great deal of force and result in severe damage to the vinyl.

The vinyl could be laid under kitchen counters but again the counters would continue moving downwards over time until the compression of the foam is complete; making precision fitting difficult.

If I was facing the problem I would begin by laying some sort of base for the fridge, washer, etc. to stand on and provide a neat edge for the cushioned vinyl in approximate line with the kitchen counters. Marine ply or tiles for a base perhaps.

if it remained upright all the time , it will switch on immediately and run
if you failed to follow moving instructions and laid it down then 24 hours to allow the oil to get back to the compressor

Check main fuse and relay. I think it's blown, possible ruptured heater core,

Hi,
Here is a tip that I wrote on moving refrigerators...if you did not do it thisway then you may well have ruined a perfectly good refrigerator.

Moving a Refrigerator What is thebest way

If you already have moved it wrong, you can sometimes get it working byplugging it in and unplugging it a number of times with an hour or so inbetween.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

Please try this, push the back rest to it's full then release the lever. This will unlock the back rest.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

Yes, it can be laid on its side but when you get it to its location, stand it up and DO NOT plug it in for a few days to let the compressor oil run back down out of the system. After that everything will be fine.

Sometimes when you move these, they hydraulic in the line if they were laid on it's side to move. Time is all it needs in this case- about 24 hrs. If it was not laid down, pull the back cover off the freezer and look carefully for loose wires. There will probably be a wire off either there or behind your temperature control.

check to make sure the outlet works,
listen for any odd noise
or sounds

Check the water pump for physical damage from the move. If the washer was laid on it's side, you may have either snapped off the pump outlet or broke the pump body. You may have broekn the body of the water inlet valve fill flume. A visual examination should provide a lot of insight as to what the problem is.
