Hey everyone! I've noticed that ever since we moved, my wine fridge has been making these strange, loud popping sounds when the compressor kicks in, almost like a firm knock. The manufacturer mentioned that it might be caused by oil getting into the cooling circuit during the move. The movers didn't tilt it more than 45 degrees, so I hope that's not the case. Repair costs are pretty high, and I'm wondering if it's okay to just let it be for a year, or if there's a risk it could fail at any moment. I'm also considering moving again in a year or two, which could make matters worse. What do you all think?

You might want to unplug the fridge for a day to let any oil settle back in place. It can help with that popping noise. Just make sure it’s off for a full day. It might just cool down those components and reduce the sound.
I actually had it unplugged for a week right after moving, and it’s still working fine! Do you think that means it’s less likely to break down?
