I transported a used fridge on its side. It was a 2004 Frigidaire. Freezer on top. I stood it upright and after about 9 hours plugged it in. The freezer fan (the one that cools the freezer) kicked on and it was starting to get cool. Then the fan stopped working.
I unplugged it and let it sit for 36 hours and plugged it back in. Nothing. No noise. Doesn’t even sound like it’s trying to kick on.
What should I check? Did I just destroy the thing?
A model number may help others help you.
What should I check?
Is there power at the plug?
Is there power where the power cord connects to the unit’s wiring?
Was the thermostat inadvertently set to off?
Does the interior light come on?
Check for any loose connections in the compressor compartment.
Always a possibility that the unit is in a defrost cycle, compressor, it’s fan and the evaporator fan will all be off.
Did I just destroy the thing?
Too early to say.
Usually if you get oil up into the lines the unit still runs just will not cool so there is hope for this unit.

Here is the tech sheet

Defrost is usually 1/2 hour or so so leave it plugged in and see what happens.
OR
You could try forcing it out of defrost see the tech sheet
Both the above of coarse assume that it is in a defrost cycle.
