How to Move Appliances Without Damaging Them

Fridges, washers, and ranges each have moving rules. Break them and you risk an expensive repair on arrival.

Appliances are easily damaged in a move. Follow these per-appliance rules to protect them.

Let the Fridge Settle

Tilting a fridge moves compressor oil into the lines.

Fix: Stand it upright for several hours before plugging it in after a move.

Fit Washer Transit Bolts

Moving a front-loader without transit bolts damages the suspension.

Fix: Refit the shipping bolts before transport.

Secure Doors and Cords

Swinging doors and loose cords get damaged in transit.

Fix: Tape doors shut and coil cords safely.
