Crushed Fridge Cable Under Heavy Table, any issues?

    Hi,

    We had our new fridge stored away and unfortunately
    the electric cable was left underneath the leg of a
    very heavy table, so it has been crushed for 3 or 4 months
    now.

    Could this have affected the wires inside and may cause
    the appliance to fail later on, assuming it does work
    (have not tested it yet). Or is the cable quite strong
    and able to withstand heavy crushing?

    The right way is to renew the cable(maybe damaged).
    If it's near the plug end, cut the dint and rewire the plug(maybe too short).

    Mr. HandyAndy - Really
