Moving big, heavy appliances when you move can be a pain and cause you to need expensive appliance repair. Some people choose to buy new appliances and have them professionally delivered and installed rather than pay for refrigerator repair in New York. If you are moving and are taking your refrigerator with you, here are a few tips to save yourself on refrigerator repair in New York.

High End Appliance Repair new yorkLaying the Refrigerator down:
Laying your refrigerator down is the number one cause of moving-related refrigerator repair in New York. Refrigerators are not meant to lay flat. When they get laid down and stood back up, the oil from the compressor that is leaked from the cooling lines may not drain back properly. If the cooling lines are fouled, the problem may be temporary but after 72 hours, it is probably time to call the repair experts at Cor-Jus.

Moving the Refrigerator when full:
Often times on very short moves, people will attempt to move their refrigerator when full. One reason why this is a bad idea is because the contents in the fridge will shift during the move ...
... and cause the refrigerator to tip over. Another reason is due to the extra stress put on the shelves and compartments. The stress on drawers and shelves will cause them to break during the move. All drawers, shelves, and compartments should be removed before you attempt to move the refrigerator.

Misusing straps:
The straps used during a move are very helpful when used properly. They will hold the doors shut and keep the fridge from shifting during the move. If they are placed incorrectly over the door handles, it can dent or damage the doors and handles and need to be replaced. Pulling the straps too tightly can pull the doors out of alignment and cause the cool air to excape out and overwork the motors.
