Typical sizes and weights
| Type | Size | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Side by side | 90 to 92cm wide, 65 to 75cm deep with doors, 175 to 180cm tall | 100 to 130kg |
| Four door or French door | 90cm wide, 70 to 80cm deep with doors, 180cm tall | 110 to 140kg |
| Depth with the fridge doors off | Typically 60 to 65cm | - |
Typical ranges, not manufacturer figures. Measure yours if it is going to be close, and check it against the door and stair measurements.
Will it fit?
Will it go through a standard door?
Only sideways. A 762mm door gives about 720mm clear, so the fridge's depth has to be under that. With the fridge doors on, many are 70 to 75cm deep and will not clear it. With the doors off, most are 60 to 65cm and will.
What if the kitchen door is narrower?
Older kitchens sometimes have 686mm doors, about 645mm clear. Lifting the kitchen door off its hinges gains roughly 40mm, and with the fridge doors off as well most still go through.
Can it lie down in the van?
It travels upright wherever possible. Laying a fridge down can let oil run into the cooling pipes, which is why the manufacturer's guidance is to leave it standing before switching it on.
How we move it
- Measure the fridge depth with and without its doors
- Take the fridge doors off where the route needs it
- Move it upright on a sack truck, strapped and blanketed
- Stand it in place and refit the doors
Before we arrive
- Empty it and switch it off the night before so the freezer defrosts
- Turn off and disconnect the water supply if it is plumbed in
- Measure the narrowest door on the route
- Check your manual for how long to leave it before switching on
Plumbed-in fridges
Fridges with an ice maker or water dispenser are connected to a water supply. We can disconnect and move one, but the valve has to be turned off first, and reconnecting a plumbed supply at the new house is a job for a plumber if there is not already a matching valve in place.
