Lay a frig on it*s side to move it but not leave it there permantly, that will mess it up.
When you get to where you are moving, you should let it stand upright and not plug it in for 24 hours.

The compressor is hermitically sealed. The condensor can be anywhere. Therefore, the position of the refigerator doesn't matter in order for it to work. The trick is where the DOOR is. It would be kind of tought to keep things in it if the door is facing the floor.

The compressor is encased in sealed unit that needs to be kept level for proper lubrication of the motor. The motor will over-heat and burn out if not kept level.

If you lay it on it's side you will need to let it stand upright for 24 hours before plugging in.
It's because of the freon.

It will work but there will condensation from the evaporator everywhere and alot of heat from the condenser. If the condensation doesn't leak onto something electrical it should be OK.
