Vacation and Moving Care

Vacations

If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You’re

Away:

1. Use up any perishables and freeze other items.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, and is

connected to the household water supply, turn off the water

supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the

water supply is not turned off.

3. If you have an automatic ice maker, turn off the ice maker.

NOTE: Raise the wire shutoff arm to OFF (up) position.

4. Empty the ice bin.

If You Choose to Turn Off the Refrigerator Before You

Leave:

1. Remove all food from the refrigerator.

2. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one

day ahead of time.

■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff

arm to the OFF (up) position.

3. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the

Control(s).”

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

When you are moving your refrigerator to a new home, follow

these steps to prepare it for the move.

1. If your refrigerator has an automatic ice maker:

■ Turn off the water supply to the ice maker at least one

day ahead of time.

■ Disconnect the water line from the back of the

refrigerator.

■ When the last load of ice drops, raise the wire shutoff

arm to the OFF (up) position.

2. Remove all food from the refrigerator and pack all frozen

food in dry ice.

3. Empty the ice bin.

4. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the

Control(s).”

5. Unplug refrigerator.

6. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.

7. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape

them together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

8. Depending on the model, raise the front of the refrigerator

so it rolls more easily OR raise the leveling screws so they

don't scrape the floor. See “Adjust the Door(s)” or “Door

Closing and Door Alignment.”

9. Tape the doors closed and tape the power cord to the back

of the refrigerator.

When you get to your new home, put everything back and refer

to the “Installation Instructions” section for preparation

instructions. Also, if your refrigerator has an automatic ice

maker, remember to reconnect the water supply to the

refrigerator.
