Refrigerator installation is, at minimum, a two person job. Having more help handy won\u2019t hurt!<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By having these items ready, you can confidently tackle this project and enjoy your newly upgraded kitchen.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part One: Out With The Old<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you haven&#8217;t removed your old refrigerator yet, you\u2019ll need to do so before installing the new one. Here&#8217;s a quick guide on steps you\u2019ll need to take to remove your old fridge:<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First Step: Prepare your kitchen for getting rid of your old fridge<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you do any heavy lifting or moving, you need to make sure your path is clear. Clean up the path you plan on taking from the spot where your old refrigerator is now to where you plan on stowing it for reuse or removal. Measure the width and height of your old refrigerator, and then do the same with any doorways or halls the refrigerator and dolly will have to pass through. Don\u2019t pick a route through the house where the refrigerator could get stuck or damage walls, corners, or molding!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you know where your refrigerator is going, it\u2019s time to lay down a large piece of cardboard or appliance mat. Place it in front of the appliance. This will protect your floors when you do the initial moving to get it out of its spot and up onto a dolly or cart.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second Step: Prep your fridge for removal<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Shut off the ice maker, if your refrigerator has one. Then, disconnect the appliance from power by unplugging it. At this point, you might want to <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-move-a-refrigerator-like-a-pro\/\">move the refrigerator<\/a> <\/strong>to give you more space to work at the back of the appliance. After, wind up the power cord and tape it to the back or side of the appliance with packing or masking tape \u2013 this will make your life a whole lot easier later.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now, if your refrigerator has water hook ups for ice or water dispensing, you\u2019ll want to disconnect those. Most refrigerators connect to your home\u2019s water from the back, at the bottom, on one side. Water lines are usually secured to refrigerators with a single nut, so you\u2019ll need your adjustable wrench. Take care when disconnecting the water line \u2013 water will almost certainly spill out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the water is disconnected, you can empty your refrigerator. Remove everything \u2013 food, shelves, drawers, ice bucket, and water filter. Once everything is out, tape the doors down. This will eliminate the risk of a door swinging open while you\u2019re moving the appliance.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third Step: Get the old appliance out<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your final task is removal. With help from an assistant, move the old refrigerator to a dolly or handcart. Keep it upright! Especially if you plan on reusing, donating, or selling it. Ensure it\u2019s secured before moving it any further, and have your assistant act as a spotter as you remove the appliance to ensure you avoid injury or damage to your home.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you decided what to do with the old ice box once it\u2019s out? In most of the US, you won\u2019t be able to just leave it curbside without incurring fines. Why not consider recycling? We\u2019ve got a complete guide to appliance recycling and donation you can check out over on our blog!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part Two: Installing A Refrigerator<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now that you\u2019ve got the old refrigerator out, it\u2019s time to bring the new one in!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step One: Remeasure everything<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before you start moving your new refrigerator into the house, you\u2019ll want to double check its dimensions. Refrigerators generally have standard sizing depending on their style, but within those sizes there\u2019s a good deal of variance, and even a quarter inch can be the difference between a perfect fit and a giant appliance stuck in your kitchen door.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, measure the height, width, and depth of your refrigerator. Once you have those numbers, measure the space the refrigerator is going to go in. There should be enough room that the refrigerator, once set up, will have at least 1 inch of space between itself and the back wall and \u00bd inch around all other sides. You\u2019ll also want to make sure that no cabinets or walls are in the way so that the refrigerator doors can open freely.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to know more about finding the right refrigerator for your space? <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/what-are-the-size-dimensions-of-a-refrigerator\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have a look at our refrigerator sizing guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step Two: Get your new fridge into place<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Just like when you removed the old refrigerator, you\u2019ll want to ensure your new fridge is completely empty of shelves and drawers, with all doors taped shut and the power cord out of the way. Don\u2019t move on until everything is secure!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With a helper, load the new refrigerator onto your dolly or hand cart. Do your best to keep it as upright as possible as you do this. Tilting it to a slight angle isn\u2019t bad, but do not lay the appliance on its side. This can cause issues with the compressor and refrigerant.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once it\u2019s on your dolly, fasten it into place, then have your helper guide you through your home to the kitchen, and unload it from the dolly into its spot. Don\u2019t do any heavy lifting without help! You could seriously injure yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If at any point your refrigerator was placed on its side, you\u2019ll want to let it sit for at least 24 hours before moving on to the next step.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step Three: Hooking up the water<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If your refrigerator doesn\u2019t have an ice maker or water dispenser, you can skip this step!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To begin the installation process, make sure to turn off the main water supply to your kitchen. This can usually be done using a valve located beneath your kitchen sink, regardless of the make or model of your fridge. The specific steps for installation will vary based on the brand and model of your refrigerator as well as the space you have available, so it&#8217;s important to refer to your manual for instructions. If you prefer a visual guide, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OjpofmZjTis&#038;list=PLKhohqC7zc-TIMxEbW9Gk_UBbXmwGqPPa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">check out our how-to videos on YouTube<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once the refrigerator is connected to the main water supply, you\u2019ll want to flush the fridge\u2019s water lines to clear out any lingering dust from manufacturing and storage. To do this, you\u2019ll want to hook all lines up to the water inlet valve at the bottom of the refrigerator, then point the open side of the water lines into a bucket or basin. Turn the water supply line on long enough to flush the tubing until the water coming out runs clear, then turn the water supply back off as you finish installing the lines.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you install, note that water lines should have some slack. They can be looped around themselves, but should not be kinked or bent at hard angles.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step Four: Plug in and position<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The water is hooked up, but we aren\u2019t done yet! At this point, gauge how long it\u2019s been since you first set your refrigerator up. Has it been at least twelve hours? If not, let your refrigerator sit, unplugged, for twelve to twenty-four hours so that it can settle, especially if it was laid on its side during transport.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">After your refrigerator has settled, you can plug it in and move it into its final spot, if you haven\u2019t already. Make sure the power cord and water lines aren\u2019t pinched when doing this!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your refrigerator will take a few more hours to come to a temperature appropriate for storing food, so take this time to ensure everything is level. Place your level on the top of the refrigerator to check the entire appliance. If it\u2019s uneven, you\u2019ll need to adjust the leveling feet at the bottom of the appliance. How this is done will depend on the make and model of your refrigerator, so consult your manual for instructions \u2013 you will likely need an adjustable wrench to do it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may also be able to level the door(s), so check those, too. Their heights are usually adjusted at the hinges.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step Five: Loading it up!<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With your refrigerator level and receiving power, it&#8217;s time to start assembling the interior. Install the shelves and bins, and allow the refrigerator to come to an adequate temperature \u2013 a minimum of 0\u00b0F (-18\u00b0C) in the freezer and, ideally, between 35\u00b0 and 37\u00b0F in the fresh food compartment.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your Refrigerator Install Questions Answered<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What size\/style of refrigerator should I buy?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That depends on a number of factors, from your family\u2019s food needs to the features you simply can\u2019t live without. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/how-to-choose-the-right-refrigerator-for-your-home\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Need some help making the right choice? Have a look at our full refrigerator buying guide<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">!<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Can I lay my refrigerator on its side?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To avoid issues with the cooling system or damage to the appliance\u2019s internal parts, refrigerators should not be laid on their sides if at all possible. If this is unavoidable, the refrigerator should not be left on its side for more than 8 hours, and it will need to be left to settle upright for at least 24 hours before being plugged in.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How long do I wait before putting food in my new fridge?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Give your refrigerator at least 12 hours and preferably 24 hours to come to a stable, food-safe temperature before you start loading things up. If your new refrigerator doesn\u2019t have a digital temperature sensor, there are affordable analogue refrigerator thermometer options available. Place a thermometer in the center of your freezer and in the center of your fresh food compartment to get an accurate reading.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What temperature should my refrigerator be?<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To be food safe, the freezer must be, at minimum, 0\u00b0F (-18\u00b0C). The fresh food compartment should ideally be between 35\u00b0 and 37\u00b0F, and no higher than 40\u00b0F.
