How do I get a heavy under-counter drink fridge out without wrecking my floor?

I pulled one of these out of a tight alcove last spring and the trick is getting it up off the feet first. Almost all of them have adjustable leveling feet, so open the door, look at the bottom front corners, and see if they screw up. Crank them all the way up and you buy yourself a quarter inch or so of gap. If the back feet are the fixed kind, that's still enough to slip a flattened piece of cardboard or a couple of those plastic sliders under the front. You don't really need to tip it back much, just pry the front edge up with a flat pry bar or even a stiff putty knife with a wood block under it for leverage, slide your slider in, then walk it back the same way for the rear feet. Once it's on sliders it glides out easy even on vinyl.

I do kitchen refits on the side and I've pulled a dozen of these out of under-counter gaps. Empty it first, no question. The compressor and cabinet are most of the weight, but a fully loaded rack of bottles plus the glass shelves can easily add 30 or 40 pounds, and loose bottles sliding around mid-pull is how shelves crack. Take the shelves out too if they're not screwed in. On the water line, you're fine. Beverage coolers that just have a plug are compressor units with no plumbing at all. If it had an ice maker or water dispenser you'd see a little supply valve behind it, but sounds like you've got nothing there.

One thing I always do is check the top edge before pulling. Built-ins sometimes have a screw or bracket up top tying them to the counter, and people yank and wonder why it won't move. Run your hand along the top frame and look up under the counter with a flashlight.

First post here so hope this makes sense, but check the top of the unit before you pull. Mine was screwed to the underside of the counter with a little bracket to stop it tipping forward, and I only found it after yanking half the trim loose. Had to reach up over the door and undo a couple of screws blind. When I moved my old dishwasher it was the same deal, always somthing anchored you don't expect.

One thing I'd add is don't expect to pull it straight out in one go. Mine came out in stages, like six inches at a time, because the cord was short and I had to stop and grab the plug each time it got tight. Also once you're in past the cabinets, the door opens way wider and you can get a better grip from the front instead of reaching around the sides. Oh and check the cabinet toe kick under the door in front of it. Sometimes that strip is removable and popping it off gives you just enough room to get your fingers or a pry bar under the edge without scratching anything.

Update: tried the leveling feet trick and cranked them all the way up, and it actually moved about an inch before stopping dead. So something's still holding it. That has me wondering about the bracket thing the poster above mentioned. Looked under the counter edge but can't see anything obvious. Is it ussually visible or does it hide behind the door frame?
