How to carry a refrigerator

The refrigerator is our indispensable assistant, and often there is a problem when moving: in a new place he ceases to work because of the wrong transportation, especially if the housewarming happened on its own or suggests it was no one. In any case, carry and unload the refrigerator carefully and neatly (the compressor is fixed on the springs that can burst). If you have saved the factory packaging - it is wonderful. If not - in our article we will talk about the main nuances with which you may encounter in transportation.

First of all, free the device from products, defrost it and pack the shelves. Especially carefully do it with glass, wrapped with their cloth or paper. Try to pack the corners of the refrigerator with foam or cardboard, so as not to damage the surface. It is possible to completely wind by its food film, and then it will not even have to wash it in a new place. As a last resort, skate the door with a scotch or tie the twine, in order to avoid their accidental opening.

All accompanying documents indicate that the best way is to transport in a vertical position, or the tilt should not be more than 40 degrees. The unit itself will secure belts or ropes to avoid slipping.

If the dimensions of the car do not allow the refrigerator standing, then the second option is on the side, undercover the cardboard or an old blanket. At the same time, the door loops must be top. Transportation by door down risks damage the rubber seal, and on the back wall - the condenser. To transport the compressor, special bolts are provided in many models - secure them. If there are no bolts - the motor and tubes are preferably wrapped with cloth to avoid deformation or lay cardboard pads.

In a new place, you must turn on the refrigerator after 2-4 hours, and better after a day (especially in winter). This is necessary to return to the norm of compressor oil. And your cold friend is ready for operation!
