Moving
When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow
these steps to prepare it for the move.
1.
If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:
■
Turn off water supply to the ice maker at least 1 day ahead
of time.
■
Disconnect water line from the back of the refrigerator.
■
When last load of ice drops, press the switch to Off (O)
either on the ice maker or the control, depending on your
model.
2.
Remove all food from refrigerator and pack all frozen food in
dry ice.
3.
Empty ice bin.
4.
Unplug refrigerator.
5.
Clean, wipe and dry thoroughly.
6.
Take out all removable parts, wrap them well and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
7.
Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so
it rolls more easily or raise the levelling screws so they do not
scrape the floor. See the “Adjust the Doors” or “Refrigerator
Levelling and Door Closing” sections.
8.
Tape doors closed and tape the power cable to the back of
the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation instructions.
Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to
reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.
