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 the water supply to the ice maker at least one day
ahead of time.
■
Disconnect the water line from the back of the refrigerator.
■
When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff arm
to the OFF (up) position or move the switch to the OFF
setting.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen food
in dry ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Depending on the model, turn the Refrigerator Control to OFF
or turn cooling off. See “Using the Controls” in the User
Instructions, User Guide, or Use & Care Guide.
5. Unplug refrigerator.
6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.
8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it
rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs so they don't
scrape the floor. See “Adjust the Doors” or “Door Removal,
Leveling and Alignment.”
9. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of
the refrigerator.
When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer to
the Installation Instructions for preparation instructions. Also, if
your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to
reconnect the water supply to the refrigerator.
