Questions
Know the boundary before the job.
Should I cut refrigerant lines?+
No. Do not cut tubing, remove the compressor, or release refrigerant. Refrigerated appliances need proper end-of-life handling.
Does a freezer use the same preparation?+
Mostly. Empty it, defrost built-up ice, dry the interior, secure loose parts, and confirm a clear route. Chest freezers also need enough turning room.
Can the refrigerator doors stay on?+
Often they can, but door removal may be needed for a narrow opening. Share measurements before the job so that requirement can be assessed.
