Transporting soda machine question

Hello, recently moved a used machine home and for some reason it will not cool now. The machine was unplugged a couple of days before moving (and it worked then). I moved it in the back of a pickup truck laying down on its back. Got it home plugged it in and it did not cool. So I uplugged it for a couple of days and let it sit. Plugged it back in and it still didn't work. Seems that the bottom unit with the fan does not work, there is an upper unit that does run though. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Jim,
After the move, was the machine left upright for several hours or did you plug it in right after the move?

My six cents,

It was not left upright for more than an hour or two before I plugged it in. It then ran for maybe a day before I unplugged it again. Could this have damaged it beyond repair? Or do you think that I should try something else?
Lemme know, Thanks for responding

Hello all! I think that I have fixed my problem. Upon closer inspection I noticed that the fan on the compressor wouldn't turn. When I layed it on its back in transit some of the copper tubing was pushed back into the unit jamming the fan. I gently bent the tubing back and made sure nothing else was in the way. When I plugged it in and turned the temp. setting to the coldest it could go it kicked on. This morning the contents was nice and cold! Thanks for all your help.
