Ok to run refer at an angle if on electricity?
My driveway is at an angle maybe 8 degrees. Think it's ok to run the refer if on AC? Not sure if it's always level or just on propane it must be level.

I experience that once running, the fridge will keep on working even when tilted quite a bit.
But it will not start.
Yes, it will "keep" working, but not at the same rate as level. It will also keep working and cause a blockage that in time will accumulate until the refer will not cool adequately at all. The Damage is cumulative(spelling). Every time you run off level, it adds a little more to the blockage until one day it does not cool correctly. That is why it is important to turn the refer OFF when traveling and you stop at times and the refer will not be level for more than 20 minutes or longer. Those little stops add to the blockage. In Transit, the rocking motion of the refer will allow the Ammonias to percolate when off level on hills and inclines. AS to your statement it will not start-----YES IT WILL, it may not cool but it is starting that blockage. Doug
