How to Slide Out a Built-In Monogram Fridge

Sliding out a built-in General Electric Monogram refrigerator is not much different than moving any refrigerator. It's essential to verify all connections are disconnected before moving the appliance away from the wall. Sliding out the refrigerator requires assistance because of its weight. Protecting any flooring in front of the appliance ensures it isn't scratched or otherwise damaged.
