i am planning on buying a mini fridge for my daughters dorm room and i am
wondering if it's okay to transport one whilst lying down(sideways) so as
to fit in my backseat. will this damage the unit in any way?

thanks cj

leave it vertical for a couple of days before plugging it in to let the oil
settle out. sometimes the compressor will fall off it's mounts if it's not
vertical, so yes, it's possible that it could be damaged in certain cases. i
can't see yours from here, please hold it up higher.
