Vacation and Moving Care
Vacations
If You Choose to Leave Refrigerator On While You Are Away:
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 shut-off
arm to Off (up) position or press the switch to Off (right).
4. Empty the ice bin.
If You Choose to Turn Refrigerator Off Before You Leave:
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 shut-off
arm to the Off (up) position or move the switch to the
Off (right) setting.
3. Unplug refrigerator.
4. Clean, wipe, and dry thoroughly.
5. 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.

6. Take out all removable parts, wrap them well, and tape them
together so they don’t shift and rattle during the move.

don’t scrape the oor. See the “Adjust the Doors” or “Door
Removal, Leveling, and Alignment” section.

of the refrigerator.
