Welcome to the DIYPC family, DSMarty! We're glad you are here😀. Everything always worked out for Columbo (in the end). We're quirky as well. We know that all of your projects work out for you too. Best -DIYPC ✨️

I ALMOST teared up when you talked about your kids. Know the feeling all too well - but unlike you - mine are all grown up. Still a tight family but those days are gone. Either way, I know the feeling well. Refrigerators are total nightmares to get in a home. And yes, I learned the hard way that you have to be super careful about which one you choose to get inside the house :)

Jack, you can live vicariously through us (regarding the kids). We learned and are learning so much. We appreciate you watching and commenting! -DIYPC

Good video. We’re a lot older than you and your wife so we have no choice but to have one delivered. However, you did a good job showing our younger folks how it’s done. 👍🏻

Thank you, Patty! We appreciate your comment. 😇

Great job as usual! I can’t tell whether you had a soft brace on under your shirt, but please by all means protect your back by wearing a heavy duty, leather back brace when carrying, pushing, pulling extremely heavy items along with safety gloves to protect your hands.. When I’m in Costco, Walmart, and I see young guys lifting and pulling heavy items on those pallets,I always warn them. I can’t help it.When you’re young, you don’t feel it but later on it catches up.

J, thank you for looking out for my back. I will definitely be mindful of how I take care of it.

There’s an old vid on The Handyman YT channel called the Lowe’s scam you need to know about. It describes the an incident involving reselling a faulty appliance (washer) in the mark down section. Glad your purchase went ok!!!

Same story I have same store and look at this I had to pay for repairs and it’s starting to make some more noises. If you need refrigerator don’t buy it from LOEWS and differently not that brand. Thanks for sharing a good video. Get a new one and have them set it up.

That kitchen needs to have its own DIY series! The wallpaper and the floor guys and gals! Opened box appliances are usually cheaper, I can never find what I need, so I only buy closed box appliances. Good choice on the new appliance though! 🎊 🎉❤👍🏽🛠️⚒️

This is why i have 2 fridges, one in my garage, and a counterdepth kitchenaid in my kitchen. I did all the measurements before making a purchase. Turns out that the regular depth would barely fit through my front dor even with the doors removed. I had no choice but to go with a counterdepth model, and even though it would fit throigh my entry door with the doors on it. I still tok them off to make tge unit lighter to move, and keep the doors from getting any dings or sctarches while moving it. Had a friend that did not do his measureing, bought a fridge. It was delivered but best buy just left it in the dining room, reason why was it was too tall to fit under the cabinets that were above the fridge. I just took the 2 cabinets off tge wall, and put them in the garage as there was nothing to cut off at the bottom. I may reinstall them an inch higher up, but would look crappy as not being in line with the other cabinets. Whirlpool is a great brand. My kitchenaid looks identical to your whirlpool, kitchenaid and whirlpool are the same companies. So folks do your homework before purchasing. Measure space fridge is going into as well as all doors you will be moving it through to get it to your said location.

Refrigerators are way too big these days. I ordered one of those Samsung bespoke refrigerators with the custom colored panels a few years ago. I have a pretty wide front door/entry threshold, but the refrigerator would not fit so they had to go through my backyard, take the doors off, and it still barely fit through my patio doors. I love that refrigerator, but I worry if I ever move, I might have to just leave it for the next owner.

You are right, they are enormous. Contractors should change the entry door sizes.

I have done this a lot over the years. Why is it always a struggle to put the door on the bottom pin. I'm glad it's not just me . Very informative and well done video.

Funny thing is that I saw where it was "supposed to be."

I worked at Lowe’s for 12 years we delivered all appliances over 395 dollars for free at first then they started charging 35 dollars I know now it’s done by outside contractors but they unbox it at store before delivering in past .

They had a lot of open box appliances when we went there. Most companies use sub-contractors to do an off-shoot of their work. They charge more than $35 now. Thanks for your comment, Henry! - DIYPC😀✨

I just came across your channel. We had that same problem when we got a fridgetwe got ours from my daughtdr who was moving and didnt need such a big fridge ht was a side ay side and our sons were able to help us we had to take our front door and stair rail off also the fridge doors as well to take it downstairs bcz thats where our kitchen is. We have a bilevel home. That was hard phew. you should get one of the cameras that you put on your head a go-pro that would work a lot better and be hands free❤😂

Sounds like you guys put in some work. Taking off stair rails is definitely a job in and of itself. 😃

Great video. For our instance, the delivery service included the removal of old & delivery of new fridge. Being on a second floor, I would much prefer to have some else break their back. Imagine maneuvering a large 320LBS brick up & down the stair cases by your self. Nope.

Our open box Kenmore (from Sears back in the day) made by LG has been an outstanding appliance for over 20 years the couple of dents on the bottom of the freezer made it an outstanding half price appliance and is just completely worn out.

It Looks Very Nice Great Job

I bought a demo Samsung from Home Depot, it was delivered. It had issues and Samsung REFUSED to honor the warranty. Be careful people, that cost me $2,500.

@@DIYPowerCouple - Samsung said their records said it was sold to Home Depot, Home Depot did provide multiple receipts but it didn’t help. Samsung said send them the original receipt, and I did, Samsung said it was a copy, and not the original. When the warranty lady said bluntly that it would cost me more to sue them than the refrigerator cost, it became clear to me why they had asked me if I was a lawyer early on. This was a calculated move to deny warranty vlaims.

I dread when I have to get a new fridge but I have purchased a dolly for a new stackable washer n dryer

A dolly is a "must" for all appliances...you can't really slide them around.

Excellent demonstration of all aspects of moving, dismantling and installing a refrigerator. However, I'm still not sure what being an open-box had to do with anything. The same steps would have had to be taken even if new.

@DIYPowerCouple

The only difference is that you may not have had to do it yourself on a new refrigerator. If you had free or paid installation, the store would have their people do it for you.

Thanks, Gwendolyn! We're glad it was helpful!

I would rather not DIY an incoming appliance. My sister told me of horror stories of Moving Contractors damaging the door on their way in. But, it’s great to save money on Open Box items.

Not sure why you wouldn’t bring it thru the front door as it is usually at least 36 in. Compared to garage door that’s probably 32. Would have only needed to take off the handles.

We purchased a new home and ended up buying a brand new opened box fridge with just 2 minor dents on the side..

A laundromat? 😂 Thank you for the info. 👍

Refrigerators are now bigger than before and do not fit through older home door frames. There are not many options for smaller refrigerators.
