supply to the refrigerator. Property damage can occur if the 
water supply is not turned off.

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.”

the refrigerator.
