Facebook Marketplace Appliance Delivery Ontario: Fridges, Washers, Dryers and More

Appliances are one of the best categories on Facebook Marketplace in Ontario. A fridge that costs $1,500 new can be found for $300–$600. A washer and dryer set that retails for $2,000+ can be purchased for $400–$800. The savings are significant — but appliances are heavy, awkward, and require specific handling to move safely. This guide covers everything you need to know about Facebook Marketplace appliance delivery in Ontario.

Why Appliances Are a Top Marketplace Category

Appliances turn over frequently on Marketplace for several reasons: - **Home renovations**: Homeowners upgrading to stainless steel or smart appliances sell their old units - **Moving**: Appliances are often sold when people move to homes with different configurations - **Upgrades**: Families upgrading to larger or more efficient models sell working units - **Estate sales**: Appliances from estates are often in excellent condition The result is a steady supply of working appliances at 50–70% below retail prices.

The Challenge of Appliance Transport

Appliances present unique transport challenges: **Weight**: A standard fridge weighs 200–300 lbs. A washer weighs 150–200 lbs. A dryer weighs 100–150 lbs. Moving these without proper equipment risks injury. **Size**: Appliances are bulky and awkward. Getting a fridge through a doorway requires tilting and careful maneuvering. **Fragility**: Fridges must be transported upright (or allowed to settle before use if tilted). Washers have drum supports that should be in place during transport. **Connections**: Gas appliances require disconnection and reconnection by a licensed technician.

Appliance-Specific Transport Rules

Refrigerators

**Critical rule**: Fridges should be transported upright whenever possible. If a fridge must be tilted, it should be allowed to stand upright for the same amount of time it was tilted before being plugged in (to allow compressor oil to settle). **Transport requirements**: - Appliance dolly (not a standard hand truck) - Moving straps to secure the fridge - Padding for door handles and corners - Clean vehicle interior to avoid contamination **Before pickup**: Defrost the fridge completely. Remove all food and shelves. Tape the doors shut.

Washers and Dryers

**Critical rule**: Washers should have drum transport bolts installed before moving. If the original bolts are missing, the drum can be damaged during transport. **Transport requirements**: - Appliance dolly - Moving straps - Drum transport bolts (if available) **Before pickup**: Disconnect water supply and drain hoses. Run a spin cycle to remove residual water.

Stoves and Ovens

**Gas stoves**: Must be disconnected by a licensed gas technician. Do not attempt to disconnect gas appliances yourself. **Electric stoves**: Can be disconnected by unplugging or disconnecting the electrical connection. **Transport requirements**: - Appliance dolly - Padding for glass cooktops - Remove oven racks for transport

Dishwashers

Dishwashers are typically built-in and require disconnection from water supply and electrical. This is usually a straightforward DIY task. **Transport requirements**: - Standard hand truck or appliance dolly - Padding for the door

Why Professional Appliance Delivery Makes Sense

Washer Testing

- Run a short wash cycle - Check for leaks during the cycle - Confirm the drum spins smoothly - Test all cycle settings - Check the door seal for mould or damage

Dryer Testing

- Run a short drying cycle - Confirm heat is produced - Check the drum for damage - Inspect the lint trap and exhaust vent
