I have found that 24 hours is needed for fridges and a/c's that have been moved or place in an abnormal position for periods of time. Might want to shut if off and wait and see tomorrow. Jon |

Retro-man is right you have to wait at least 24 hours for the oil to settle backdown into the compressor because when you lay a fridge on its side or back the oil in the compressor can work its way into the coolant lines. If you do not let the fridge sit upright for 24 hours so that the oil can resettle you will force the oil through the lines and it can clog the one way valves in the coolant system. If all the valves get choked then it burns out the compressor but since you only transported it on it side maybe only some of the valves got clogged and that might be the reason that part of it gets real cold and part of it does not.

P.S. According to my research your fridge is from 1947. |

Additional thought ... I forgot to mention that the previous owner said the fridge had not been turned on in over a year. Idk if that makes any difference or not. Just a little extra information |
