What if I plugged my new fridge too soon for 7 minutes before I realized I had to let it settle

It's generally recommended to wait for 24 hours before plugging in a new refrigerator to allow the compressor oil to settle. Plugging it in too soon can cause the compressor to work harder and potentially shorten its lifespan.

7 minutes is a relatively short amount of time, so the damage may be minimal. However, it's impossible to say for sure without inspecting the refrigerator. If you're concerned, you can unplug the refrigerator for a few hours and then plug it back in to see if it's working properly.

Here are some things to look for if you think you may have damaged your refrigerator by plugging it in too soon:

Unusual noises: The refrigerator may make a loud humming or vibrating noise.
Poor cooling: The refrigerator may not be cooling food properly.
Leaks: The refrigerator may be leaking water or refrigerant.

If you notice any of these problems, it's important to contact a qualified appliance repair technician.
