A fridge is a bulky, heavy thing. Moving it takes some care and know-how. Here’s what to do:
- Unplug – unplug the electricity and turn off the water connection. Do this at least fifteen minutes before moving the fridge.
- Clean – take out any food and wipe off the top of the fridge so you don’t get dust in your eyes.
- Take measurements – make sure the fridge will fit through whatever door or hall you plan on taking it through.
- Fasten the doors – use rope or a bungee cord to secure the doors in place so they don’t open mid-move.
- Use a dolly – a fridge is too heavy to pick up, especially if it’s a decade or two old. Get a dolly, and lift the fridge onto it.
- Secure the fridge – use rope to tie the fridge to the dolly.
