|  Moving Fridges........
I am moving house. I have a bar fridge. Apart from turning it off and unplugging it, is there any thing else i need to do?
I did have some one comment to me that after moving the fridge, I should not turn it on for at least 3 hours, otherwise the Freon Gases can get a little unhappy. Is that true?

Don't plug it in right away after you get it moved. Let it sit a few hours to let the refrigerent settle, so as to not burn out the compressor.

ORLY. Reason I did not know this is because this is the first fridge I have owned and when I purchased it, it sate up in my appartment in it's box for a few days before i got around to using it.

Yhsa, some claim it okay to plug right in, but when i was a mover, we always said to wait.. 3hrs is enough if moved upright.

The link claims 24 for a BIg fridge.. So if you can do 24hrs that'd be safest, but as its small, and if you do it quickly, over night would be fine.
Your savior is its small so no \alot of refridgerant.
