Hello to all of you! My fridge freezer needs to be upgraded because I recently renovated my kitchen. My refrigerator’s maximum dimensions are 60 cm across and 178 cm high. There is enough room for me to properly collide the unit in the back.
The only refrigerator freezers that caught my attention when I started looking for new ones were all 60 centimeters wide. Could that work? To enable the doors to open, I don’t mind the refrigerator sticking out, but I’m concerned it might not fit into my kitchen space adequately. Anything to consider?
To find out how much free space is needed on either side for air venting, refer to the installation instructions. There are variations in size, ranging from 5 mm to 100 mm on each side. Ignoring them increases the likelihood that the fridge will overheat or work too hard, losing efficiency, and—most importantly—void any warranties that may be issued. But up to you, if you locate one and it fits, well, it fits.
@Nidal A 600mm fridge/freezer from AEG or Neff should fit in that opening, I believe.
When you do purchase one, if you’re having trouble positioning it, try putting some dishwashing detergent on your floor; it will help the fridge slip in.
Consider the handles on your new refrigerator if there are walls on either side. Additionally, if there is sufficient room for you to be able to pull out the drawers, should it be fully opened.
