Hi, I was told I could transport a french door LG refrigerator on its side. I was told that if it was brand new and never run then it would be okay. This is from Costco a 22 cubic foot French door fridge. Transport was about 15 to 20 minutes and it sat upright for about an hour or so before we installed it. Should we be concerned about any damage? Generally, large refrigerators should not be laid on their sides as it may not be able to support their weight.
