    Hi,

    We need to replace our integrated fridge freezer, it is a 60-40 split with the dimensions being 54cm wide, max 56cm deep. The fridge section is 100cm high and the freezer 65cm.
    The problem I have is finding something specific to match the split of the two cupboard doors. The freezer section cannot be any taller than 65cm. The fridge section could be taller as there’s a big gap above it currently in the cupboard.
    A lot of integrated f-f’s don’t show the specific measurements of the two sections when I look at them online, unfortunately.
    I found one that would fit – a smeg c7280fp, but it isn’t frost free, which I would also like.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Many thanks, Catherine

    Hi

    Just wanted to confirm you have a 60:40 split which by the model you do have.

    As you have found there is very little out there in that split. You do however have a few options.

    You could source new doors or a close match door and put in a 50:50 or 70:30 ones as these are more popular.

    The other option is to remove the integrated altogether put the doors away and put a 55cm wide freestanding one in there like the Hotpoint FFASA52P frost free model, but you do lose the “integrated” look.

    HTH 🙂

    Thanks so much for this.

    I think – I hope – I may have found a model that fits! I looked at 70-30 models as we have more space above the fridge currently than we need.

    Hi

    I think you maybe over thinking the whole thing 😉 8) or I could be wrong.

    99.9{e5d1b7155a01ef1f3b9c9968eaba33524ee81600d00d4be2b4d93ac2e58cec2d} of all integrated fridge freezers are the same overall height of 178cm give or take the odd millimeter it’s the door splits that vary ie 70/30, 60/40/, 50/50 and 80/20.
