[LG refrigerator installation] When should I plug in the power cord and supply power after moving the product?

Troubleshooting Freezers, Refrigerators 25/05/2023

If a refrigerator is moved while lying down, the cooling motor (compressor) may detach or the gas pipe may break due to vibration, which can cause a malfunction.

The cooling motor (compressor) contains oil.
If the refrigerator is tilted during transport, the oil may flow in the wrong direction, causing a malfunction if the power is turned on immediately after moving.

Try this

Move the refrigerator in an upright position as much as possible.

➔ If it was inevitable to move the refrigerator lying down, leave it upright for about 2 hours before plugging in and supplying power.

Move the refrigerator in an upright position as much as possible.

If you simply removed the electrical cord or changed the location of the refrigerator in the house, plug the cord back in and supply power after 5 minutes.
