Turning a fridge upside down

Fridge is packed in in work, has anyone done this... or is just an old Myth?

EDIT: Still slightly chills things, but hardly at all.

It's ok to do it but make sure there some empty space between it and the floor so you fool it into thinking it's not upside down.

If you turn a sealed bottle of water upsidedown does more water enter the bottle?

First, check some numpty hasn't turned it down by accident. If not then it's more than likely either a faulty temperature sensor or mainboard (cheapish fix) or a dying/dead compressor (expensive fix/new fridge). Any unusual noise?

Nope nope and nope....

Was only a suggestion someone said in the office, its quite a decent fridge (out of warranty), wanted to try something before buying a new one.

No noises suggests faulty temperature sensor or mainboard, rather than a compressor struggling to meet the demand which would be running pretty much 24/7 to try and keep the temp down.

But its not like it's your own fridge so let the company do whatever
