What Movers Recommend for Refrigerator Transportation

Moving is a big undertaking and can be pretty daunting, especially when you are faced with the task of moving large items. Whether shipping something across the country or moving a refrigerator down the street in Seattle, it takes care and precision to ensure everything reaches its destination safely. It pays to have the right people on your side to make your move as stress-free as possible. At CMS Relocation & Logistics, we are your Seattle movers. We want to help you with a range of services that will alleviate the stress of moving, including refrigerator and appliance delivery. Let us take care of you and your refrigerator during transportation so you can focus on more important things.

How To Prepare For Refrigerator Transportation

There are several essential tasks to take care of before our Seattle moving company can help transport your refrigerator. These steps will ensure that your refrigerator arrives safely and without any problems. We always recommend getting in touch with us early to avoid a stress-free Seattle moving experience.

• Turn off the electricity running to the fridge. You’ll also need to defrost the refrigerator because the unit cannot cool itself down during transportation. Remove all food and liquids stored in the refrigerator, so they don’t spill or leak during transport. Check the door seals and gaskets before you seal them shut.
• Remove all food and liquids from the refrigerator compartment. Any shelving also needs to be removed. If you have large items in the fridge, remove them. It needs to be empty because the refrigerator will be sealed shut.
• Secure the doors with a bungee cord to prevent them from opening during transport. You can also use solid adhesive tape. However, ensure they are secured tightly because if they come off, the doors may swing open during transport and cause damage.
• Any leftover foods need to either be donated to someone you know, or you can dispose of them before moving. This is to ensure that the food does not spoil in the process.

Once the fridge is ready to transport, we will pack it securely in our specially-designed transport vehicle. Our trucks are made explicitly for short or long-distance moves. Your refrigerator will be transported safely and without incident.

How Our Moving Company Transports A Refrigerator

When moving a refrigerator, there are special considerations that must be kept in mind. The safety of the fridge and its components is paramount, and it’s essential to find an experienced moving company you can trust. Our moving company has been providing excellent service for transporting refrigerators for many years.

We take every precaution necessary to ensure that your refrigerator is safely transported. We prepare the refrigerator for transportation by securely packing the exterior with packing material and shrink wrap for extra protection during transit. We also ensure nothing moves or shifts during transport, which could cause damage or spills. During the move, the refrigerator needs to stay in an upright position. If the fridge gets laid on its side, you risk water or other fluids spilling. The doors must remain shut and close properly if you have a side-by-side refrigerator. Once we arrive at the destination for transport, the fridge is carefully unloaded and placed in the designated location. We’ll also take care of hooking up the new refrigerator to the electricity and water supply. This is a good time to make sure everything is working properly, such as the temperature settings and lighting.
