What should I do if my refrigerator is on its side for 24 hours?
If your refrigerator was on its side for more than 24 hours, let it stand upright for 24 hours before plugging it in. Allowing the fridge to stand in its normal position before plugging it in will give the oil time to flow back into the compressor where it belongs.
When does the compressor stop running on a refridgerator?
If your compressor is running when you advance the defrost timer, it will stop running when you hit the defrost portion of the cycle. Advance the timer all the way around to the beginning of the defrost cycle again (generally one-half or one full turn) and leave it as early in the defrost cycle as possible.

Set the thermostat to a lower setting to see if the compressor starts and then stays on. If it does, the compressor doesn’t have a problem.

Why does my fridge burn out in the morning?
The pilot light is responsible for triggering the fridge burners. That said, sometimes this doesn’t happen. You may light the pilot light in the morning, only to return to the fridge in the afternoon and find it’s burned out.

Some, such as a sub-zero fridge, come with motherboards. So it is not safe to say that there is no need for a surge proctector for a fridge.
