Goat, what's the shipping weight on that monster? I repaired/recharged one similar to this one a while back and inside the door was a sticker that said it was 662 pounds. I believe that since my dolley is rated for 300 pounds max and barely rolled that humongous thing. I think the one I worked on was a Kenmore.

Occasionally I will be picking up a trade-in washer or dryer and someone will ask if I will haul off an old fridge. I never turn people down. I throw it on my scrap trailer and take em to the scrap yard to weigh up. $3.00 per hundred pounds on tin around here, so a 600 pound monster almost brings a twenty dollar bill after all is said and done. After I remove the coil and get all the Cu and Al out of it.

Nowhere near 600 lbs.Probably in the 3-400 lb range.

Around here,appliances bring $75.00 a ton.That's not too bad,I remember when scrap yards wouldn't take them,didn't want them even for free.
