Hi there
bought a Bush BSNF55136 which was advertised as 136cm high, turns out its actually 138cm. As a result it will not fit under my cupboard. 😥
Would it be possible to remove the front feet and the metal bar and just let it sit on the floor or put some packers in to take it up to the height under the cupboard ?
What sort of clearance is required for the compressor to work correctly ?
Thanks for any help.
Re: clearance problem
Hi Baz
I wouldn’t remove anything from the appliance as it could invalidate your guarantee.
Return to the retailer with the information they quoted and ask for an exchange or refund.
I see Argos still have it quoted at 136cm high 😉

unlucky for me there isn`t a lot of choices of fridge freezer at that size – thought I had cracked it when I saw that one.
Re: clearance problem
Not sure what you mean but, it must have air as it needs cool air so it doesn’t overheat and burn out. An oh so often mistake kitchen installers make on integrated fridges and freezers!

Re: clearance problem
Say the compressor at the moment is mounted 5cm from floor height.
If I lower the fridge (by removing the front feet and the metal bar ) so now there is only say 1cm or 2 cm between the floor and the compressor is this still going to allow enough airflow ?Good air space from back wall and is freestanding if that helps.
Re: clearance problem
Let me put it this way…
If you risk it and it doesn’t work, your fridge freezer is toast.
Anyone that comes out under warranty will disown it as the specification has been altered. Irrespective of the fault reported.
You will be facing the bill to repair or replace the fridge freezer.
So, I can’t advise it. It might be okay, might not but just so you know that if you go down that road, you’re pretty much completely on your own with it.
