Refrigerators
Prior to moving day, refrigerators should be defrosted and the interiors thoroughly
dried to prevent mildew. Interior shelves and trays should be left inside only if
wrapped and secured to prevent damage.

Television Sets and Stereo Equipment
Most TVs and stereos can be moved without special servicing. However, we recommend that
you call your appliance service representative to determine whether service is required
prior to moving your particular television or stereo. Such services normally cannot be
performed by the mover. If you have the original boxes for these items, use them to
safely pack and move.

Washers and Dryers
Consult your appliance service company to determine whether your washer or dryer
requires service prior to moving. Gas dryers should be serviced and line capped by the
gas company or a professional plumber.
