18 cubic ft Samsung residential fridge moves when traveling

[Sportsdad60]

We have a 301GK-R.
When traveling I've noticed the fridge had at some time kicked out and hit the island, denting the left door of the fridge. It moves back and forth easily by hand.

Does anyone have a solution to keeping it still?

Some screws through the front feet and in back. When I did my 14cu residential I did that plus ran small metal strapping from top of hinge into frame. I also put a ratchet strap over top and down both sides!lol

Or maybe put a plate L shaped in front of the wheels to keep from sliding forward.....

Interesting - I tried to move mine a bit and couldn't budge it. But as I think back, our left door was dented when it arrived at the dealer even though the rubber latches were attached so wonder if it shifted on the ride from Indiana. I always assumed it was fastened to the slide somehow.

Not sure how you would put screws on the feet, no room to work!
It does not slide forward, it leans from the TOP forward. If the kitchen island wasn't there I would imagine its smash down forward.

Maybe a block of wood between the top and the fridge?

I added a few layers of foam board around 6"x10" sandwiched between the top rear of fridge and slide. It was 3 or 4 on top of each other to wedge. Not sure what access you have.

Will try to attach a pic of the strapping I used on front before trimming it out.

The screws in the feet. When you open the fridge door or if bottom freezer should have wheels in front?

Or get a peice of angle iron an go across bottom front to stop wheels from rolling forward.

OK, went out and tried to rock my fridge. There is a trim piece about 6" to a 1' from the back of the slide wall and attached to the underside of the overhead cabinet which really limited the amount I could rock front to back. There is also a trim piece behind the lower adjustment feet that butts up against something on the fridge itself. I can feel the screw heads on the lower trim piece. That's how mine came from the factory - no way could I slide the bottom out - makes me wonder how they would get it out if needed.

I should add, fridge is rock solid, cannot be moved with slide out.
However, slide in, wiggly smiggly and can tilt forward which is kinda weird.

Can't budge mine with the slide in or out. That's very strange only with slide in.

Just tried it with the slides closed again. That strip of wood that goes across the floor keeps it completely tight. Seems like it is fitted between the rollers and the leveling feet. No play at all.
