You do not want to lay that refrigerator on its side because the refrigerant will leave the compressor and fill the system with liquid refrigerant where it should only be existing in a gaseous state, and if the refrigerator is tilted far enough over or lay-ed onto its side then the refrigerator will have to stand up-right and un-plugged for at least 24 hours before the liquid refrigerant will settle back down where it belongs, and then the refrigerator should actually function again if there was no other damage caused when moving the unit.

A 1-1/2" long bulb (not included threaded area) fit perfectly. If you plan to remove the thermostat/ switch, you must 1st remove the screw in the top back and then slide the thermostat assembly towards you and it will come free.
