Here are some simple tips for moving a fridge from CBD Way Movers:
- Get the refrigerator ready for transport. Remove all food and beverages from it. Tighten any slack drawers or shelves. Should it be a freezer fridge, defrost and dry.
- Unplug the refrigerator. If it has an icemaker, unplug it and cut the water line to it. To prevent leaks, disconnect the water line cap.
- Assess entryways, corridors, lifts, and so forth. Verify that the fridge can be moved easily and that it can fit through any narrow openings.
- Keep floors safe. When moving the refrigerator, place furniture sliders, cardboard, boards, or blankets underneath it to avoid scratching the tile or hardwood floors.
- Shut the doors. To prevent fridge doors from swinging open during the move, tape them shut. To secure, use packing tape or straps.
- Fridge turned backwards. Gently tilt the refrigerator back so that it rests on the top corner and handle. It is now simpler to move around on its wheels or rollers. Straps can help with lifting.
- To assist in lifting, balancing, and controlling the refrigerator when it is tilted back, fasten lifting or shoulder straps to the bottom corners. Raise with your legs.
- When lifting the slanted refrigerator, be sure to do so with your legs while maintaining a straight spine. Get assistance moving heavy refrigerators. Set down carefully.
- Tilt the object gently forward to land on the front roller wheels of the new location. Take great care not to fall!
- Prepare the refrigerator and plug it in. Reload food and drink items after securing in place, reconnecting the water line, plugging it back in, and opening the shelves and drawers.
