Delivery & moving

4 minute read · Shared guidance for refrigerators

Move food before the appliance

Plan where refrigerated and frozen food will go before the refrigerator is unplugged or moved. Use another working refrigerator or freezer, or insulated carriers that keep food cold. The FDA advises keeping a refrigerator at or below 40°F and a freezer at 0°F; use appliance thermometers to check the destination storage rather than relying on how cold it feels.

Separate perishables from shelf-stable food and limit the time they spend outside cold storage. If you cannot keep food within safe conditions, make a food safety decision using FDA guidance rather than taste or smell. Note any temperature readings and how long food was without reliable refrigeration so you can make a careful decision afterward.

Arrange cold storage or insulated carriers before moving day.
Use thermometers to check the receiving refrigerator and freezer.
Track time and temperature for food that leaves controlled storage.

Empty and secure the interior

Remove food, loose containers, and any removable shelves or door bins that could shift. Check the manual to see which pieces are intended to come out and how to handle them. Wrap and label removed parts so they can be returned to their original positions. Secure any parts that must remain in place using a method allowed by the manufacturer; avoid adhesive or tape on finished surfaces unless the manual permits it.

Close and secure doors for the move only as the moving plan and manufacturer instructions allow. Do not use handles or shelves as lifting points. If an interior part is stuck, cracked, or unclear, ask the mover or manufacturer before forcing it.

Empty the cabinet and remove loose items.
Protect and label manual-approved removable pieces.
Agree on a door and interior securing method with the movers.

Measure the route and protect surfaces

Measure the refrigerator and the full route, including doorways, turns, stairs, landings, and elevator openings. Include the space needed to maneuver a dolly and the room to keep people clear. Tell the delivery team about tight turns, floor transitions, or stairs before they arrive so they can decide whether the planned equipment and crew are suitable.

Protect floors and nearby finishes with coverings appropriate for the surface, and clear obstacles from the route. Do not assume that a refrigerator can be safely carried by one person or tipped to clear an opening. Use a properly sized appliance dolly and trained movers for lifting and handling; follow their method and the appliance instructions.

Measure the appliance and each narrow route point.
Clear the path and identify floor or wall protection needs.
Confirm the mover has suitable equipment and enough trained people.

Address water and transport instructions

Before moving a refrigerator with a water connection, identify the shutoff and arrange for the line to be disconnected by someone qualified. Do not pull the appliance away while the line is attached or stretched. A visible ice or water feature does not tell you how to disconnect its plumbing; use the exact model manual and the installer’s guidance.

Check the manual for required transport position, handling, and any restoration steps after the move. Do not apply a universal waiting period or assume that one model’s instructions fit another. If the manual is unavailable, find it through the manufacturer’s official model support or ask the delivery team to defer movement until the requirement is confirmed.

Tell the movers whether a water line is connected.
Arrange qualified disconnection before the appliance is moved.
Find the exact model’s transport and post-move instructions.

Restore and recheck food safety

After positioning, follow the model’s setup instructions for leveling, connection, and any stated restoration period. Use a refrigerator thermometer and freezer thermometer to verify the storage spaces reach the FDA guidance of 40°F or below and 0°F, respectively, before loading perishables. Do not use a display reading or a cold interior surface as a substitute for an independent thermometer.

Check the door closes as intended and inspect any reconnected water line for visible moisture. If temperatures are not at safe levels, keep food in alternate cold storage and consult the manual or manufacturer. Record readings and times; a quick check right after plugging in may not show settled storage conditions.

Complete the exact manual’s restoration steps.
Verify refrigerator and freezer temperatures with thermometers.
Keep perishables elsewhere until safe storage temperatures are confirmed.

What to do with what you find

The destination refrigerator and freezer measure at or below 40°F and 0°F, respectively, and the doors close normally.

The measured compartments meet the FDA temperature guidance at the time checked.

Record the readings and load food while continuing normal thermometer monitoring.

Either compartment is warmer than its FDA guidance after the manual’s applicable restoration instructions.

The appliance is not yet providing the target food-storage temperature, and perishables may be at risk.

Keep food in alternate cold storage and consult the exact manual or manufacturer for next steps.

The refrigerator is still connected to water, or moisture appears after reconnection.

Moving or operation could strain a line or cause water damage.

Stop moving the appliance and contact the installer or plumber to manage the connection.

Have these details ready

Exact model manual with transport and restoration instructions.
Route measurements and moving crew/equipment plan.

Common questions

Can I use a fixed waiting time before putting food back?

Use the exact model’s restoration instructions and thermometer readings. There is no universal waiting time that applies to every refrigerator.

When are the compartments cold enough for food?

The FDA guidance is 40°F or below for the refrigerator and 0°F for the freezer, verified with thermometers.
