How should I ship / transport my refrigerator or freezer?
Do not attempt service or replace parts of the appliance unless referred to in the owner's manual. Follow all safety precautions provided in the owner's manual.

A refrigerator or freezer should only be transported in an upright position. If the refrigerator or freezer cannot be transported in an upright position:  
  • Lay the refrigerator or freezer on its side when hauling.  
     
  • Tape doors shut.  
     
  • When installing, DO NOT plug the refrigerator or freezer in for 12 (twelve) hours. This will allow lubricant to return to its proper place inside the compressor.
