Its possible that during moving something shifted or bent the fan area and its not running. Could also be a small critter built a nest in that same area stopping the fan from running. Without that fan--- the compressor will run a very short time and then cycle itself off on the heat safety when it gets too hot. It will keep short cycling off the heat overload until the fan runs again. It will not run long enough to get to proper temp. Just guessing but check this first.
