Vacation and Moving Care

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: Depending on your model, raise the wire shutoff arm 
to OFF (arm up) position, or press the switch to OFF.

4. Empty the ice bin.

Models with Vacation Mode Feature 

■

Turn on Vacation mode. See “Using the Controls.”

NOTE: Activating Vacation mode does not turn off the 
ice maker. 

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 or press the switch to OFF, 
depending on your model.

3. Empty the ice bin. 
4. Turn off the Temperature control(s). See “Using the Control(s).”
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.

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 or press the switch to OFF, 
depending on your model.

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.
