Refrigerator - Preventing Rolling or Sliding Forward

Many Refrigerators have wheels or rollers that allow the appliance to be pushed into place easily as well as pulled out for cleaning or moving. While some Refrigerators have front legs that can be adjusted down to keep the Refrigerator from moving forward, some do not. Use caution when using a Refrigerator with only wheels or rollers when it is installed on a hard floor surface.

Preventing Rolling

Due to the size of the doors and the strength of the door gaskets, it is possible that the Refrigerator could roll or move when one of the doors is opened. Since the wheels or rollers do not lock in place, it may help to place a piece of wood, a small wood wedge or plastic furniture coaster with felt on the bottom under the wheels or rollers to prevent rolling. We recommend re-leveling the Refrigerator after doing this, if necessary.
