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.
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.
When you move an LG refrigerator, it’s important to wait before plugging it in and supplying power. After moving, you should wait at least 2 to 4 hours. This waiting period allows the refrigerant and oils inside the compressor to settle properly, preventing potential damage and ensuring optimal performance.
