Moving a fridge requires defrosting, emptying, and careful handling. Whether you are doing a house removal or need appliance delivery, here is how to move a fridge safely.
Fridges are heavy and contain refrigerant. Tipping or rough handling can damage the compressor. Defrost 24–48 hours before moving. A man and van or house removal team can handle the job. Use our quote calculator and check our areas we serve.
Empty and defrost the fridge. Unplug and clean the interior. Secure shelves with tape. Tape the door shut. Keep the fridge upright during transport where possible.
Use an appliance dolly. Never lay a fridge on its side for long. For stairs, professional furniture delivery or removals teams have the equipment. Allow the fridge to rest upright for a few hours before plugging in at the new address.
Let the fridge stand upright for a few hours. Clean the interior. Plug in and allow to cool before loading food.
For a full move or single appliance delivery, professional movers handle heavy items safely. Get quotes and confirm experience with white goods.
