Hello out there…
Just thought i’d ask if there was anyone with stories/experiences (good or bad) relating to the SMEG FAB28 fridge?I’m thinking about buying one cos they look nice but wondered if they were technically as good as they look…
The spec seems good (‘A’ rating energy efficiency, etc).Read a few reviews on one website saying they were generally unreliable, that there was a design fault with the door, door seal problems, light faults… All very worrying considering the price tag 🙁
Many thanks in advance for any help and/or suggestions.
Cheers for now…Re: Is the SMEG FAB28 fridge any good???
Hi Tagg,
I’ve not seen too many in a while as Expert took over all servicing for Smeg refrigeration UK-wide a couple of years back, but I’ve seen a few.
Yes there was problems with the doors and they took an age to come from Italy as well, 3 months or more in some cases. This was due to the door seal failing or not sealing correctly and it is (from memory) foamed in so it cannot be replaced apart from as a complete door assy. Worth knowing that a door seal replacement could cost about £300! :eeek:
There were also problems with the inner evaporator door not sealing and the catches were/are prone to breaking. The door didn’t seal right and led to a high build up of condensation in the unit.
However I am told that these problems have all been addressed in later revisions, whether they have or not I simply do not know. 😕

Not too many problems but they are a very basic fridge for the money, not a bad thing in terms of reliability though.
