Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If You Choose to Leave the Refrigerator On While You’re
Away:
1. Use up any perishables and freezer 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 (arm 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. Empty the ice bin.
4. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the Controls”
in the Quick Start Guide.
5. Clean refrigerator, wipe it, and dry well.
6. 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 Controls”
in the Quick Start Guide.
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 online “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
“Installation Instructions” for preparation instructions. If your
refrigerator has an automatic ice maker, remember to reconnect
the water supply to the refrigerator.
