How to move LG refrigerator?

Moving an LG refrigerator safely requires careful preparation and handling to avoid damage and ensure it functions properly afterward. Here are the steps to move an LG refrigerator:

Before You Begin:

• Empty the refrigerator and freezer of all contents.
• Unplug the refrigerator from the electrical outlet.
• Turn off the water supply and disconnect the water line if your refrigerator has an ice maker or water dispenser.

Steps:

1. Remove Adjustable Shelves and Drawers: Take out any adjustable shelves, drawers, and accessories from inside the refrigerator and freezer. Wrap them in blankets or secure them separately.
2. Secure Loose Items: Tape down any loose items inside the refrigerator and freezer to prevent them from moving during transit.
3. Secure the Doors: Use tape or rope to secure the refrigerator and freezer doors. This will prevent them from swinging open during the move.
4. Clean and Dry: Clean the interior and exterior of the refrigerator. Make sure it’s completely dry, especially around the door seals.
5. Measure Doorways: Measure the width of doorways and hallways to ensure the refrigerator can fit through without any issues. Remove doors if necessary.
6. Get Help: Moving a refrigerator is a two-person job. Enlist the help of a friend or family member to assist you.
7. Use a Dolly: Place a dolly or hand truck under the refrigerator. Tilt the fridge back slightly and secure it to the dolly using straps or bungee cords.
8. Move Carefully: Move the refrigerator slowly and with caution, especially when going up or down stairs. Use ramps if needed.
9. Load in the Moving Vehicle: Carefully load the refrigerator into a moving truck or van. Secure it with straps to prevent it from shifting during transit.
10. Transport Upright: Always transport the refrigerator in an upright position. Laying it on its side can damage the compressor and cooling system.
11. Pad and Protect: Use moving blankets or padding to protect the refrigerator from scratches and dents during transit.
12. Unpack and Settle: Once at your new location, carefully unload and position the refrigerator in its new spot. Allow it to sit upright for at least a few hours before plugging it in to allow any refrigerant to settle.
13. Reconnect: Reconnect the water supply and plug the refrigerator back into the electrical outlet. Let it cool down before loading it with food.
