Appliance moving
Moving household appliances - a fridge, washing machine, oven, hob or TV - takes preparation before transport. The washing machine drum is locked with transit bolts, the fridge is defrosted and dried, and the TV only travels upright. Skip these steps and the repair often costs more than the move itself.

Preparing appliances for transport
Fridge
Switch the appliance off at least 12 hours before the move so that it defrosts completely. Defrost the freezer compartment and dry the inside. Take out the shelves and drawers or secure them so they cannot move. We transport the fridge upright. If it has to travel lying down, leave it standing upright for 12 hours before switching it on. If it travelled upright, 4 hours is enough.
Washing machine and dishwasher
The transit bolts go in, not out - they hold the drum still during transport. If you have lost the original bolts, we pack the drum with soft materials. Turn off the tap and drain the inlet hose and the drain hose. Without a locked drum, the shock absorbers and the drum spider get damaged at the first big jolt.
Oven and hob
Take out the racks, the trays and the door glass. An electric oven is unplugged or switched off at the fuse board. A gas appliance must only be disconnected by a qualified technician. Do not undo the connection to the gas supply or the gas bottle yourself - we do not carry out this work and we do not transport an appliance that has not been professionally disconnected.
TV
A TV is only transported upright, never lying on its screen. The panel is the most delicate part - pressure on the screen causes damage beyond repair. If you have kept the original box, use it.
Important
Do not switch the fridge on straight after delivery. The compressor oil needs time to settle back into place - switching it on too early can break the compressor. Wait 4 hours if it travelled upright and 12 hours if it travelled lying down.
