I am sure this may be a silly question but I cannot fint the answer to this question anywhere. I am very familiar with large industrial ammonia refrigeration systems but these little ones in refrigerators get less of my attention in RV's. ;D
My thinking would be seeing as how they have a compressor to push/force the refrigerant around the system they are less effected by level than their absorption cousins found in most RV's.
The reason for my asking is my driveway is at about a 6-degree angle. It is just outside of the range of my air leveling system on our Dynasty so I pull the drive axle up on some large lam-beam blocks prior to a trip and start the refrigerator. Has worked perfectly for the past 20+ years and multiple coaches.
Now that I have installed a new Samsung residential refrigerator it would be nice to be able to just keep the refrigerator running and not have to pull up on blocks to level up before starting the refrigerator a few days before a trip.
If anyone could answer my question as to the importance of the residential refrigerator's levelness I would appreciate it. After looking online and in the owners manual they obviously state to level the refrigerator but it is also assuming this is going into a stationary stick and brick house, not in a house going down the road.
Thank you.
Mike.

Oh well, it is in and done now so I am glad I did it vs. waiting.
