I like how you advise the way to transport a fridge, then you show with various tests and trial and error to prove your theory. Best youtube video I have ever seen. Award winning video!
You deserve an award for making this video as it's one of the best Ive seen to answer a certain question. You put a lot of effort forward to prove your case. EVERY single video out there is saying to do the opposite but give zero reasoning why they are saying that. I am convinced there is a union out there trying to speed up planned obsolescence by fabrication of lies to cause grief and hardship with people. Thank you for being a beacon of light for the people who found this video.
Dude, i almost just went agead and moved my fridge based on the most viewed video on the topic. Im so glad something told me to check a couple more videos. Thanks for your rigorous explanation.
Same for me. Why? Because I have moved 'many' fridges in my lifetime and plugged them right in and they have worked just fine. I even recently layed 2 freezers on their side and one I plugged in after about 20 mins. No problems. I just knew that something that all the manufacturers said was questionable especially in modern units of today.
Wish I'd known this before moving a refrigerator yesterday. I was lucky, I think, as it's working but I'll take a closer look and tell anyone who'll listen what I've learned from you. Thanks!
Great video. Can't really find a more detailed video than this. Simple facts with demonstrations difficult to argue after having compressors cut open and fridges bouncing around the Van 😂
My fridge was exactly like the one you showed, with one line going each way. None of the other videos seemed to cover this. Watched this as I was loading up the vehicle and she seems to run!
You are brilliant! I have had sooo many problems with friges in the last 11 months as we all know they are all crap. Also many parts in fridges are made by other companies (OEM, original equipment manufacturer). Many think that they are buying a frige and all the parts are by the name on the frige, but in fact your frige has parts made by many other companies. I know this because I was having so many I had to learn why. I have gone thru 3 different fridges in just 11 months. I just got a new one today and would not not cool. So I called the company and the first thing she said was you needed to let it sit for 12 hours. I said "how would I know this as it was just delivered, this is the first time I had the manual"? She responded with "you could have looked up the manual online before hand". What?? Oh hell no. When it wouldn't cool I just kept thinking that the delivery guys plugged it in and now it is broken...until I saw your comment on another video. I cant thank you enough for your video. I love that you showed us how the compressor works and how it is almost impossible to wreck them from brief movement or even laying them down. BTW that new frige I think is going to be ok..still not trusting any manufacturer these days.
When we moved into our first house in 1978 we had our fridge standing in the back of a tipper truck ,despite it being roped to the cab it escaped and fell over . it slid to the end of the truck on one side cleverly flipped over and slid about on the other side for several miles until it was safe to pull over . Now the difference to your one is ours was built in 1957 and it's still running fine . Sounds like a tractor starting up occasionally but would freeze everything in it solid if we turned the knob to max .Perhaps modern versions are a little feeble or perhaps have some allergy or "condition" that seems to infect everything in this modern age .
Excellent video, and excellent information. We now know that the larger, suction pipe should be facing up when transporting the refrigerator on its side. It should also be noted, that If you’re transporting a refrigerator that is completely full of food, drinks, and assorted DVDs, I feel that putting it on the side that allows the suction tube to face up is still applicable. In other words, continue to do exactly what you explained in this video.
Thank you for making this video! It answered the question that concerned me about a vintage fridge I will be transporting to my home this weekend. I can see you put a lot of work into this presentation, and it's greatly appreciated. I am happy to be a new subscriber to your channel.
It is nicely explained backed by all possibilities, theories and practicals. I almost would have done the opposite by looking at some of the most viewed videos. I have to move one tomorrow and the information is invaluable. Thanks, and well done.
Did it work? laying sideway? Id like to know please, I am going to transport my fridge soon and the van is not tall enough for the fridge standing up. I would really appreciate your response. Thank you
@JOEZEP54 0 seconds ago I am picking up a fridge today & just wanted to review which way to lay it down. So many channels are claiming the opposite. After listening to your explanation & watching the diagrams you present I will now lay it down with the intake facing up. Thank you & stay well, Joe Z

( all caps 🤠) Thank You for taking the time to do a spectacularly detailed video
Thank you for the video; it was extremely helpful! I have a question you might be able to assist with. I have a standard compressor fridge in my camper, which is always in a fixed upright position. I'm wondering if it's safe to keep it running while I drive around the country?
any idea why that other video on youtube says the exact opposite? your video makes much more sense; just curious as to why he believes what he is telling people
Because like the authors of all such videos and websites he hasn't got a clue. They simply read something somewhere or their Aunt Bessie told them and they take it as gospel and regurgitate it. They have never cut open a compressor. They have no idea what they look like inside even though there are dozens of UA-cam videos showing the inside of them. They just like to make themselves sound important by spouting so-called knowledge, which is nothing but complete rubbish. I have even put a comment on his video and all of the others telling them that they are wrong and referring them to my video, but they are too stubborn to admit that they might have got it wrong. Like when they claim oil will get into the outlet pipe if you face it down. That is a physical impossibility, as my video proves. I have cut open several more compressors since making this video. I cut open a Samsung digital inverter compressor last week to see what makes it tick. Tomorrow I will be cutting open an LG linear compressor and stripping it down. Really keen to have a look inside it. I have seen one on UA-cam but want to study one myself in real life. It works on a totally different principle - it uses a solenoid pushing a piston backwards and forwards instead of a motor driving a piston up and down like a car engine, which most compressors are, including the Samsung inverter one.
Also, I think because people know that getting oil into the filter will clog it up, they assume having that side up will save it. However, this proves that the oil can only enter the system and ruin it (and other things) if the suction line is down.
Those ignorant The Brick delivery men placed our fridge on its back while pushing it off the truck. They did not have a ramp set up to roll the fridge out in an upright position. We were lucky too much oil did not flow into the tubes and the fridge worked. Appliance delivery men are not very knowledgeable. Too bad you cannot ask the engineers who designed the compressors.
Excellent video. Next week I'll be collecting my new french door fridge/freezer (a 4 hour trip) but was questioning if I should get a transport company. I'll go for a drive in the Maloo and collect it myself ensuring the suction line points up. Cheers.

It is just amazing! I have a question. I dragged the fridge in my kitchen from one place to another. It was shaken a bit, but not tilted on the side or anything. Is there a risk for oil to leak or fridge will be fine? Thanks in advance
Should be no problem. Towards the end of my video I transport a fridge lying down going over speed humps and around bends etc. to shake it up as much as possible but it still works fine afterwards.
Hi @NongMinXiaoYu, you recently posted a link to another fridge video and asked me if he was doing it right. I won't look at any other fridge videos and increase their view count and make people think they know what they are talking about. If it says to transport the fridge with the thick pipe facing up then he is correct. Otherwise he is wrong. Sorry to have to delete your post but I don't want links here to videos that are wrong.
If the fridge is new and in a box then don't lie it down, or else cut away enough of the wrapping to see the pipes. That is what I did when I bought a new fridge a few months ago.
Good Grief!! Liked thoroughness of your demo. I'm about to transport my fridge/freezer. How is it possible two diametrically opposed compressor orientation perspectives are floating around UA-cam? Even worse, seeming the incorrect and detrimental "opinion" is the first method appearing on UA-cam??? Wonder if some folks pushing the incorrect method are actually peddling fridge service calls and costly replacements? Help me Obi Wan Kenobi!
Thank you. I know the videos you are referring to. Some people just read something on the web and think it is the truth, so they regurgitate it without having a clue what they are talking about. They have obviously never cut a compressor open or even bothered looking at UA-cam videos made by others who have done so, to see what they look like inside. They just make seemingly educated claims without providing a shred of evidence to back them up. Of major concern is the fact the most reputable consumer organisation in Australia - Choice Magazine, has a web page that contains complete nonsense. Firstly it says to transport them with the hinges facing up. Then it says it is safest to transport them on their back - the worst possible way to do so and a guaranteed way to kill many fridges. They have a link on their pages to report errors in their information. I have clicked on it several times and written to them about it but they simply ignore me. I spoke on air to a well known radio host (Chris Smith). He also contacted them but they ignored him as well. Clearly they think they are above criticism.
Thankfully i watched your video. The first one said just the opposite of yours. It actually side the small pipe up and 24 hours. Those videos just parroting what some con men put out in the media to make money off of people that dont hire them to deliver the refrigerator and sell a new one since that ones ruined. Yep sadly thats the world of commerce
Thank so much for this video. Please May I ask: Thank you so much for your response. The thing is, I want to buy a table top freezer, I saw two brands that I love which are the same sizes of freezers, but one of the freezers has a smaller compressor. Shd I buy the one with the bigger compressor or the one with the smaller compressor? Is the one with the bigger compressor more powerful than the one with the smaller compressor? Remember that the freezers are the same sizes table top freezer
I watched another video that said the opposite from you on the compressor line up side. He said distribution line up line up smaller line up! ua-cam.com/video/zUSq7BkGGP0/v-deo.html
Yep. There are lots of clueless people out there who simply hear something then regurgitate it without bothering to check the facts. Not one of those other video authors provides a shred of evidence to support their claims. They just make baseless claims, proving that they know absolutely nothing about the internals of a compressor. WARNING!!! Please don't click on the above link or any other videos that give the wrong information. All it does it push up their view count and make then appear credible. That is why I did not link to any of the other videos in my comments.
The pinched off pipe is the line that is used to fill it with gas initially and can be ignored. He shows a standard compressor with the two coolant lines coming out opposite sides. He correctly identifies the pipes but then gives the incorrect advice about which one should face up, without providing a shred of evidence to support his opinion. He confirms his ignorance by claiming you have to wait 24 hours before turning it back on. A complete myth as my video proves. That one is also easy to prove and I should have done it in my video. Get a plastic tube and fill it with water, which is not much thinner than the oil in a fridge compressor. (See my video at time 1:36). Now hold the tube up by one end and see how long it takes for all of the water to drain out. Does it take 24 hours or a few seconds?

Thanks for that. It was fun making it (until I covered myself and my workshop with compressor oil!) At least it proved the point.
