Yes. Every task, room, budget line, address, utility, and box label is editable. You can add custom tasks, mark items done, and rearrange the plan to fit how you actually want to move.

Are French door refrigerators harder to move than standard ones?

Yes, mostly because they are wider and the twin doors plus water line add fragile points. The upright and wait-time rules are identical.

How do I keep the doors from swinging open?

Tape both doors and the freezer drawer shut and pad the center seam. Load the fridge from the side so the doors never take the weight.

Do I have to reconnect the water line right away?

No, but flush the dispenser once you do to clear air and any stale water before using the ice maker.

How to Move a French Door Refrigerator

Last updated 2026-07-13 · MovePlan Editorial Team

French door refrigerators are wide, heavy, and built around two delicate doors plus a bottom freezer drawer. The extra doors and the water and ice line are the parts most likely to get damaged, so protecting them is your main job.

Difficulty: Hard
Time: 2 to 3 hours of active work, plus 24 hours to defrost
Typical cost: Around $40 to $70 in supplies, or roughly $200 to $350 with professional movers
Supplies: Heavy-duty appliance dolly, Ratchet straps, Furniture blankets, Painters tape, Adjustable wrench, Bucket and towels

Pro tip: Run the water dispenser after reconnecting to purge air from the line before you trust the ice maker.

Watch out: Disconnect the water line before moving or you risk flooding the floor and damaging the door dispenser.
