There are many occasions where you may need to move your refrigerator. You could be moving into a new home, or remodelling your kitchen from scratch. Fridges are one of the heaviest items in your home, which is why it’s essential to take care. This presentation gives you the full lowdown on how to move your fridge safely and efficiently.
2. When you’re moving house, coordinating getting the
larger items in and out of the home not only takes
heavy man power but careful planning to ensure that
no damage is caused. One item that you need to pay
particular attention to is your fridge, as moving it in the
wrong way could cause irreparable damage. Before
you do plan your move, take note of these important
tips to ensure a hassle-free process.
You're moving house. You're going to have to move
your fridge. We have three key tips to moving your
fridge properly. Your first question is how do I move
the fridge? You always move it upright. This is
because if you do lay it down, you can cause damage
to the compressor and other parts of the fridge. Keep
it as upright as possible for the transportation.
3. The second question is can I turn it on straight away?
Absolutely, if you have transported upright, you can
plug it in straight away and get things moving. If for
some reason you have not transported it upright, no,
do not turn it on straight away. We'd suggest leaving it
for about 24 hours before plugging it in and turning it
on.
Tip number three, if you've unplugged your appliance
a few days prior to moving, we recommend leaving the
door open. This is to make sure that you don't get any
mould buildup. You also won't get odors trapped in the
appliance. It's probably the ideal time to clean your
appliance. Pull all the drawers out, the shelving, give it
a really good scrub so that when you get to your new
place, you can plug it in and just get moving.
