I think fridge can survive much longer than washer. Cause we use washing machine almost everyday in high volume. More wear and tear.

After moving fridge, I think it must be left standing preferably 24hrs before plugging in. That's the protection for fridge.

"Turning a refrigerator on too soon after moving it can cause compressor oil to shift into the refrigerant lines, leading to a lack of lubrication, compressor overheating, or permanent system failure"

 

For washing machine, there are usually 4 bolts to lock down the machine during transportation to prevent the tub from moving. Every new washing machine comes with the bolts, which the installers usually take them and don't give to the owner.
