Question:

What precautions should be taken when moving a refrigerator to prevent Freon leakage?

Answer:
Toni Samson, Refrigerator Technician

When moving a refrigerator, it’s important to take precautions to prevent Freon leakage. The refrigerant lines, which are crucial for the cooling process, can be easily damaged if the fridge is handled carelessly. To avoid this, the fridge should be moved gently and kept upright to prevent tipping over, which could disrupt the refrigerant system. Avoid puncturing or exerting excessive force on any part of the refrigerator, especially near the condenser coils and tubing. These preventive measures help maintain the structural integrity of the refrigerant system and reduce the risk of Freon leaks.
