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 press the switch to OFF,
depending on your model.
2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen
food in dry ice.
3. Empty the ice bin.
4. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the
Control(s).”
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 raise the leveling screws so they don’t
scrape the oor. See “Adjust the Door(s)” or “Door Closing
and Door 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” section for preparation
instructions. Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice
maker, remember to reconnect the water supply to the
refrigerator.
