Or Gazelle, who came to you to load, too low to properly fit the appliance? Then this material from HouseChief.ru just for you! Today tell whether it is possible to carry refrigerator lying on its side or to prepare the machine for transportation, how to properly load and unload, so as not to damage the cooling system and freezing. We do not dispense attention and the old "Soviet" samples.

How to carry fridge - lying, standing or in an inclined position

Better and more correct to entrust this work to professionals. A porter will say that it is safer to transport the refrigerator vertically. Then all units and components will be in a natural position for themselves.

Important! If you are going to be transported in a horizontal position just bought the refrigerator, do not be surprised if the shop will invalidate the warranty. Since in this case the manufacturer is not responsible for any malfunctions and breakdowns.

If vertical carriage is necessary to pay attention to the height of the skirting truck. At the height of the refrigerator more than 175 cm depth shall be not less than 2 meters. In addition, the loader required to fix the device special belts.

This trouble may occur due to improper horizontal transportation of the refrigerator. As a workaround, we will tell later. Before placing your order make sure to check the quality of the packaging of the household appliance. New fridge It must necessarily be hidden in the original packaging shockproof and the compressor must be recorded with special spacers and bolts which absorb the blows. All elements (shelves, drawers) must be packed in individual sealed packaging.

«In no case do not buy a device with display cases, except for clear aesthetic inconveniences, most likely, this device may be defective. It often happens that as a "probe" performs a product that has already been returned and re-repaired. "

Transportation in an inclined position also allowed. Naturally, from floor to floor, the descent and ascent upstairs to bear vertically refrigerator does not work, the slope still is. Manufacturers recommend not drop below the critical angle of 40 °.

Tip! During the descent of the refrigerator with the floor or in any case rise refrigerator must be oriented bottom part down.

The instructions to any cooling unit necessarily specified, it is possible or not, it transported lying down. If this requirement is violated, you may face the problem of dripping oil from the compressor, which is extremely undesirable. In this case, sooner or later, you may encounter a problem in the piston engine system.

Tip! If your refrigerator is equipped with wheels, that during transport it is better to loosen.

It is important to capture all the elements of the refrigerator, take out the shelves and drawers. That at the time of the carrying Instable not damage the inside of the refrigerator. If you can not fix the internal shelves and containers in the refrigerator, it is better to be removed and transported separately from the equipment.

That is why all pre-assembly are wrapped in foil and a special transit material. How to do it right, we will tell later in this article. If necessary, the appliance can be transported lying down. Of course, you do it at your own risk, but if you follow certain rules, the transport will take place is relatively safe.

Is it possible to carry a refrigerator in the supine position, if transportation is not possible by other means

If you need to send your old fridge to the countryThen, of course, no one will hire porters to carry. In this case (even if the instruction literally shouts otherwise) can be transported in a horizontal position refrigerator. But for this you need to know some tricks. Of key importance is the side, which you put sorbiruetes device. The fact that the compressor of the refrigerator filled with oil if it is tilted in the wrong direction, it may flow into the liquid pipe exit. And if you do not give then the refrigerator stand, then run without the compressor oil can cause damage.

Before you start the transportation of the device, be sure to check the compressor design and cooling system! There are dozens of input and output options for the cooling liquid and vapor from the radiator. Some models of refrigerators equipped with compressors, which are suitable tube with one hand. Then during transport cant appliance to the side, where there are no tubes.

Tip! How do I know which part, and what is coming out of the refrigerator in your particular model? To do this, turn the refrigerator, let it run for a few minutes. Then simply touch the tube: what will be colder, it will be input.

At the outlet of the compressor tube hotter, oil can easily be mixed with the refrigerant. But in the feed tube, even if after transportation to will fill a little oil, then using reverse thrust it back into the compressor unit.

And another important point associated with the compressor. Inside the unit is a spring that hold the motor.

But lateral type fasteners, in contrast, quite dangerous for transportation, or at the least dryzhke rocking spring may burst. That is why it is very important to fix the compressor is stationary. In some refrigerators have special clamping elements or fasteners, however, if they do not, squeeze the inner wall of the compressor can be an ordinary bar.

How do you know, lying on its side which can carry out transportation of a new refrigerator in their original packaging

If you yourself take away a refrigerator from a store, then the whole of the possible transport information will be listed on the packaging.

Usually the package contains all the necessary data to properly turn the instrument. There is also a view that the right side for transportation - the one on which the looping. But how this is true in all models, hard to say.

Examine carefully all the icons and pointers, usually issues such as turn when transporting the unit, if it is folded into a package, no.

How to prepare your old refrigerator for transportation lying

Once they are not transported and not transported Soviet refrigerators! Residents of the USSR were as strong, as well as machinery. Old refrigerators, except, of course, the massive "victory", transported and cartsAnd on the trunk of the car, and even on... .. heads. Yes, I met a few pictures of Africans who were able to translate the refrigerator "Biryusa" on the head !!!

with the quality mark refrigerators steadfastly we kept many tests and still they can be purchased in the old komissionke. The main thing was - not to damage the coating of the refrigerator and do not touch the cooling system. In addition, some models such as the "Dnepr", "Oka", "Salute", "Odessa", was forbidden to lay on the back part (down the engine). But they should be transported lying on its side. Generally, in the old Soviet devices most vulnerable side - back. Due to the fact that the evaporator tubes and radiators were very brittle, and the compressor is performed outside the frame of the device.

Whether it is possible to carry refrigerator lying on the rear wall or door

Neither the old nor new refrigeration units is not recommended to carry on the back wall, since in this case the probability of damage to the compressor and of supply tubes is increased to 100%. After violations of tightness of system Freon simply evaporate, and the refrigerator will have to immediately conduct repairs.

And if you suddenly decide to put the unit on the door, think several times! Normally the instrument handle acts, it turns out that it creates a pressure on the entire weight of the appliance. Breakage is inevitable, but when you consider that most of it - the cast and is connected to the device body, the crack can go all around. If the door is "inflated", there is a great risk of being damaged and impaired the tightness of the device and the sealing rubber bands.

Stages of preparation of the refrigerator for transport: the moments that can not be ignored

In order to best protect themselves from the fridge and all sorts of trouble during transport, you must prepare your machine. stages of preparation is very simple, most importantly, the right to organize the sequence of operations.

Basic preliminary points that should be remembered every woman:

• first stage. Release the device from the product. For these purposes, you can use a small freezer termouderzhivayuschie or special packages. Be careful with that food in the fridge was a minimum amount;
• second stage. After defrosting is necessary Rinse all the elements of the refrigerator and dry. Ask to see the back of the refrigerator launched;

• third stage. With the help of recommendations that we talked about above, determine the supply and gave Freon tube. Flask for liquefying Freon better mark the tape, determine the pipe leading to it, and, in the case of the tilt, tip the machine in the opposite direction from the direction of the bulb;
• the fourth stage. Remove all components: shelves, containers, molds for freezing, collect them in a separate box or secure them with tape.

You can then move on to the device package.

How do I pack the refrigerator

device packaging is necessary for two important reasons:

1. We need to fix the compressor to prevent damage to the springs.
2. Important to avoid opening and closing the doors of the refrigerator during transport.

Consider phased stages of packaging.

Illustration	Description of the action
	Package starting from the bottom of the refrigerator. For transportation we use special packing oilcloth. Using scotch anchoring angles.
	The same procedure is repeated until the completion of the first phase of the work. We need to close all the corners and folds.
	Anchoring joints with an industrial adhesive tape. Top leaves a small margin.
	Hiding our refrigerator in a special wrapping paper.
	The last stage - pasting a sticky film packaging.

In this case, when transporting the device you are completely exclude unwanted feelings about the safety of your refrigerator. Particularly relevant this package if you want to send a cargo container.
