Some hermetic compressors are mounted "in the can" on springs. If carried sideways they can fall off the internal mounts. Ever hear someones fridge start and stop with a bang/clunk?

Also possible for the oil to get on top of the piston causing a hydraulic and busting up cranks and connecting rods or scrambling the valves.

YMMV
