Moving a Fridge

I realized that some types of "furniture" (especially large appliances) are much more difficult to move and my previous guide wouldn't be very helpful for moving things like refrigerators, washers, dryers, televisions, etc. So here are some helpful tips on moving your fridge safely:

  • Remove all removable parts (shelves and drawers) and food from the fridge and freezer.
  • Unplug the Fridge from the wall.
  • Vacuum the condenser/compressor, and clean out the water tray and evaporator pan.
  • Let the fridge sit for at least a day to dry.
  • Hire a technician to connect the water line of your new home to the back of your fridge.
  • Wait at least a day before you use your fridge at your new home. This will prevent any damage to the fridges compressor.
