Tips on Moving a Refrigerator

Tips on moving a refrigerator

When it is time to move to a new place, you want to bring your appliances.

Here are a few tips for preparing your refrigerator for transport.

  • Empty out the fridge. That of course means food, any shelving, trays, and any remaining movable parts.
  • Unplug the fridge from the outlet.
  • Defrost and dry excess water with towels.
  • If there is an ice maker, disconnect it.
  • Tie the doors shut with rope or bungee cords.
  • While moving the refrigerator, keep it upright. Don’t move it on its back or sides. If using a hand truck to move it, carry it from the side of the fridge.
  • Never store the refrigerator on its side. The compressor oil could run into the cooling tubes.
  • If you can’t transport a fridge completely upright, at least angle it so that the top end is higher than the bottom.
  • When placing it inside the moving truck secure it against the side wall with straps or rope. You want it to move as little as possible.
  • When you move it into your new place leave it unplugged in its news location for a few hours. This gives the compressor oil time to settle back down.
  • Plug it back in and wait for it to reach its ideal temperature. It might take a couple days for it to do this.

Using a little Styrofoam around the edges and maybe some old empty cartons would support the fridge as a cushion and keep it safe from scratches and bumps on the road also !

It's easy to have faith in yourself and have discipline when you're a winner, when you're number one. What you've got to have is faith and discipline when you're not yet a winner.

To be a saint is the exception to be upright is the rule. Err, falter, sin, but be upright. To commit the least possible sin is the law for man. Sin is a gravitation.

What I wouldnt give to have a debate with you about this.  You just say so many things that come from nowhere that Im pretty sure Id have a fair shot.  Your blog is great visually, I mean people wont be bored.  But others who can see past the videos and the layout wont be so impressed with your generic understanding of this topic.
