Pack Laundry Machine & Electronics
How do you move a laundry machine? First, disconnect the appliance from the power supply, dry it out, and pack it thoroughly. Detach the hoses or tape them securely to the body. Secure the drum using shipping bolts (these are often included with the machine or can be purchased separately). Close the doors and detergent compartments tightly.
To protect the outer surface of large household appliances—refrigerators, stoves, washing machines—use moving blankets, throws, cardboard sheets, or bubble wrap, securing them with tape.
Packing electronics for moving
Experienced movers know how to handle various items and can help carefully move a stove. Moving a refrigerator is quite a complex task. Here are a few professional tips on how to pack a fridge:
- Unplug it, empty it of food, defrost and dry it;
- Tape the doors shut to prevent them from opening during transport;
- To prevent damage, provide additional protection for the body using foam, cardboard sheets, moving blankets, or bubble wrap.
Transport large appliances (especially refrigerators) upright and secure them in the truck with straps.
