![]() ![]() So now we had to lift it high enough to get the piano dolly out, sit it back down to recoup then lift it again up on the porch and through the door. We managed to wheel it all the way around the house without it falling off the dolly and killing one of us then we were faced with lifting it one step up on the porch. So here we go.1, 2, 3, LIFT! up that monster went, and mom slid the dolly under it. I took every part that would come off from inside the fridge to lighten it a bit (I think the shipping weight is somewhere around 400 pounds) and we decided to lift the fridge and have my mom slide a piano dolly under it. So either remove all five doors to go through the laundry room, or take it all the way around the front of the house, up on the porch, over the threshold and into the house via the wide front 's what we did. So we got it moved to the laundry, then were faced with the new one. When it was delivered it came in the front door which is 36" wide. The fridge was wider than the laundry room door so we had to take all the doors off and the drawer out (it's a three door French door model with ice maker/water in the door) What a PITA that was. "Well moving the LG (I know, long story, get a glass of wine) turned out to be a nightmare. By this time Lowes had come and gone and our brand new Whirly was sitting in the garage and looked like Godzilla, are we going to be able to do this?" ![]() We strapped these things on, put the strap under the fridge and LIFTED THE DANG THING RIGHT OFF THE FLOOR! It was a bit top heavy but once we figured out where to put our hands, we easily lifted it out the door and into the garage. We had to get the Amana out, over the threshold, and down that stupid step every garage seems to have and into the garage. First we tried it on a very heavy wooden wine cabinet (full of wine) WOW, piece of cake! Then the real test. With just the two of us I was thinking "how the heck are we going to do this without killing ourselves or wrecking the floor"! I remembered these and thought "for this price, let's try it" So in waiting for Lowes to deliver the new whirly, the Shoulder Dolly arrived. So the Amana had to come out, and the LG had to be moved around the corner into the laundry room into the Amana's place. In our house, the fridges work their way out the door via the laundry room where our 14 year old Amana counter depth model had been residing since buying the LG. ![]() Recently we decided to "upgrade" our LG fridge that we HATED, with a new 26' cubic foot, five door Whirlpool. I had seen these before but poo pooed them off as "as seen on TV" items. ![]()
