Get creative
Get creative with the contents in your fridge a week or two before the moving day. Eat as much perishables and foods that require freezing as you can. This way, you will have less to move and less to lose. In case there are perishables left, give them to your family or friends.
Cleaning
As you get everything around your house clean for the move, don’t forget the fridge. Go through all your condiments and doors and throw away all out-of-date products.
Outside
Remove any magnets on the refrigerator doors and pack them in a sturdy moving box. Don’t leave them behind or misplace them since their absence could compromise the functionality of your appliance.
Keep cool
If you haven’t been able to consume all perishables before the moving day, put all items in a cooler bag or esky the night before.
Take it apart
Don’t move your fridge in one piece. Take out all drawers, shelves, and trays out and pack them, carefully with your dishes and other fragile kitchenware. It is challenging to find replacement parts for refrigerators. Take extra precaution when moving them!
Unplug the fridge
The night before the move, make sure you unplug the refrigerator. Leave the doors open while defrosting to speed up the process. Place an old towel in the doorway to soak u all excess water.
Choose Proactive Fridge Movers
Not all movers can move refrigerators effectively. Make sure you choose reliable movers who have a proven track record moving home appliances.
Cooling Off Period
Once you move to your new home, don’t plug the fridge immediately. Leave it for about 2 hours and then plug it. This will give the cooling gas in the refrigerator components to settle down.
