    Hi,


    I have a new AEG SC91844-5I Integrated 70/30 fridge freezer which I was intending to fit into my new kitchen, a housing for 70:30 has been supplied, but the door sizes are: 700mmm bottom and 1245mm top, the problem is that the bottom door with this fridge freezer would need to be 720mm and the top door 1230ish mm.


    I have spoken to the kitchen supplier and they tell me the sizes I have are standard 70/30 door sizes, so it must be that AEG fridge freezers use funny doors spacings.

    You could fix this by moving the fridge down (as the doors cover the unit fine) but I can’t as the fridge freezer is already sat on the bottom shelf!


    Is there any fridge freezer models out there that are actually correct for these door sizes? As I’m contemplating changing the appliance as I can’t see any other way around it

    Any help greatly appreciated.

    It should be standard. 😕

    Have you checked the installation instructions as there’s usually clues in those as well as with the templates for fixing the doors?

    the instructions are the worst ever, and they do not show what sizes are needed, I have gone off my own measurements,.


    I have looked at pretty much all other makes and them door sizes that I have will not fit any other integrated 70/30 either…


    1245mm and 700mmm doors seam to be the ones given with any kitchen but they will not fit a 70/30 by the looks of things so I don’t know what to do.

    fwiw, the gap between the upper and lower doors on the actual appliance usually provides a small margin to accomodate slight variations where the split appears between the upper and lower kitchen unit doors. Did you take this into consideration?

    Most base unit kitchen doors I’ve come across are 715-720mm. Ikea perhaps use 700mm doors.

    eg. this Beko has a 84.5mm gap between the two doors shown on page 18.
