A refrigerator or freezer should be thoroughly dry and stored with its door slightly ajar.
Make sure that stoves and cooking equipment are cleaned before they are stored.
A washer should be drained of water, clean, and dry. Cover disconnected hose ends with plastic bags, tied securely. Store your washer with the lid open.
Some goods can be stored inside large appliances. Boxes can be stacked on top of stoves, refrigerators, and freezers.
