Pump:

The pump is what moves the coolant throughout the system. It pulls, or pushes, the fluid through the compressor, cooling coils, and expansion valve. This is essentially, the driving force, which powers a refrigerator. Without the pump, the fluid would sit stagnant within the system once it reached equilibrium.

Once you buy a new refrigerator, the system is still. All the coolant within the system is room temperature and nothing is flowing. The moment you turn it on, the pump will begin cycling the fluid. It’s first stop after the pump is the expansion valve.
