refrigerator oil bubble

kge2 · #1 Sep 18, 2007, 06:40 AM

I managed to transport a refrigerator on its side and now it doesn't seem to be getting cold. It gets cool, but not cold.
We think there is air air bubble in the oil or something to that effect. It does have enough freon.
Only about 1 inch of the freezer coils get cold.
I have turned it off and let it sit for days, with no fix.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Ken

Well, never transport on it's side. But that is the past. Hopefully you let unit sit for 24 hrs. before restarting. You do not have an air bubble but rather the oil had drained out of the compressor.Have you checked that both the evaporator and compressor fan is running?
