How to Move Your Frigidaire Freezer

Moving a Frigidaire freezer can be challenging, especially if it’s heavy or large. You’ll need some tools and equipment, such as a dolly, straps, gloves, and protective pads. You’ll also need some helpers and a clear path to your destination.

Before you move your Frigidaire freezer, make sure you do the following:

• Unplug your freezer and disconnect any water supply lines if it has an ice maker or water dispenser.
• Empty your freezer of any food or items and pack them in coolers or insulated bags.
• Defrost your freezer if it has any frost or ice buildup and wipe it dry with a cloth.
• Remove any shelves, baskets, or bins from your freezer and secure them with tape or wrap them in bubble wrap.
• Tape or tie the freezer door shut to prevent it from opening during the move.

To move your Frigidaire freezer, follow these steps:

1. Lift your freezer onto a dolly. With the help of your helpers, tilt your freezer slightly and slide the dolly underneath it. Make sure the dolly is centered and balanced under your freezer. Secure your freezer to the dolly with straps or ropes.
2. Move your freezer carefully. With one person steering the dolly and another person guiding from behind, slowly roll your freezer to your destination. Avoid bumps, stairs, or sharp turns that could damage your freezer or cause it to tip over. Use protective pads or blankets to protect your freezer and walls from scratches or dents.
3. Lower your freezer off the dolly. With the help of your helpers, tilt your freezer slightly and slide the dolly out from under it. Carefully lower your freezer onto the floor and adjust its position as needed.
4. Level and plug in your freezer. Use a level to check if your freezer is even on all sides. If not, adjust the leveling legs at the bottom of your freezer with a wrench until it’s level. Plug in your freezer and reconnect any water supply lines if needed.
5. Restock and turn on your freezer. Wait for 24 hours before restocking and turning on your freezer. This allows your freezer to stabilize its temperature and prevent any damage to the compressor.

Congratulations! You’ve successfully moved your Frigidaire freezer. Now you can enjoy storing your frozen foods in your new location.

FAQs

Here are some frequently asked questions about moving a Frigidaire freezer:

• Can I lay my Frigidaire freezer on its side? No, you should never lay your Frigidaire freezer on its side or upside down. This can cause oil to leak from the compressor into the cooling tubes, which can damage your freezer’s performance and lifespan.
• How long do I have to wait before plugging in my Frigidaire freezer after moving it? You should wait for at least 24 hours before plugging in your Frigidaire freezer after moving it. This allows the oil to settle back into the compressor and the temperature to stabilize.
• Can I move my Frigidaire freezer by myself? No, you should always have at least one helper when moving your Frigidaire freezer. Moving a freezer by yourself can be dangerous and cause injury or damage to your freezer or property.
