4.Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.

5.Tape rubber or wood blocks to the tops of both doors to prop them open far enough for air to get in. This stops odor and mold from building up.

Moving

4.Depending on the model, turn the Temperature Control or Refrigerator Control to OFR See "Using the Controls."

5.Unplug refrigerator.

6.Empty water from the defrost pan.

7.Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

8.Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them together so they don't shift and rattle during the move.

9.Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator so it rolls more easily OR screw in the leveling legs so they don't scrape the floor. See "Adjust the Doors."

10.Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back of the refrigerator.
