I pluged it in, and it has not got cold at all. the motor is on... i dont know what to look for. theres no fan no freezer. its just a fridge. it has been puluged in since i got it home 3 days ago. any ideas on what to do/look for? Please advise.

A Make and Model Number would help

If it is based on a compressor
Unplug it and let it sit for 24 hours
Then plug it in
Sorry but he worst thing you could do is plug it in shortly after it was on its back.
Oil may have gotten into you lines so you have to let it drain back down into the compressor (HOPEFULLY)

Sometimes it works, sometimes it don't
Depends if the oil has made its way to the orifices
Well worth a try though

It could also be something else but this is the most likely
