RIDDLES/BRAIN TEASERS 2

This thread might fit the bill for my 64 thousand dollar question:

How do you get a fridge out of a shed when the weight of an entire wall of shelves rests on a kitchen worktop lying on top of the fridge and when removing and reattaching the whole shelf is no option as it would be even more time-consuming and hardly feasible for one person alone?
Here you can see the fridge (red arrow) and part of the wall of shelves . The resolution has been chosen deliberately for a start.

🤔
Could he put in support planks attached to the shelf to hold it up and then to remove the fridge?

The photo is blurry and hard to see clearly.

Why did you laugh Craig, have I missed something?

Thanks, Terry, for putting your thinking cap on. Indeed, that's the solution. The "he" is me, BTW. Considering the weight to be supported, I had to decide which supports to buy as they should be strong enough, height-adjustable, and, ideally, have a lifting function for the whole structure.
I hoped that there was a bracket in the back right corner after all. No such luck. So the load had to be gradually shifted from the front to the back of the fridge onto several supports. The main load was to be carried by two professional supports for caravans, which have a large enough load-bearing capacity, are finely adjustable and can also achieve a lifting effect. I ordered these from Amazon. (Their lifting effect under tension caused the wood in the substructure to burst). But they didn't fit everywhere, so I started with a self-built one at the front right, then added the two main supports and another self-built one at the back right, which I then supplemented with two temporary ones.

Everything had to be done step by step and coordinated until the cupboard was actually free at the top. After screwing back the feet of the fridge, I was then able to pull it out slowly, but the feet got stuck on the power line... I raised everything again through a board put underneath and moved it to the left until it finally arrived. Man, that cost me some nerves.

Now I'm going to put a wall anchor and one metal support in the back right corner, where it's hard to get to, for the work top with shelf load, if there's enough room, but I have to leave room on the right wall anyway because of the power line. The second one might fit there, then the entire load would be 80% supported. The new freezer will be ordered and put in as soon as possible. Incidentally, I didn't know that there are special appliances for outdoor use that are supposed to last down to -15°.
