Our Fridge Freezer is built into the kitchen units and it has started to build up a thick layer of frost so we think its time to replace it but I have had great trouble in finding a recommended one with the same size freezer unit as we have now which is about 9 inches thick. Most of the models I have seen are 50/50. Could someone please offer me any models that ae recommended and have a Freezer Refrigerator split 20/80/

Woa there, I am one of the few retailers who help posters like yourself. That said you have to realise that my paid job of running a large showroom comes first as it’s my livelihood. I try to get to answer posts within 24 hours which this post is .
Moving forward you have not told us the model number of the existing appliance? T hat way I could advise you correctly which in turn would save you a lot of grief and expenditure.

My apologies for such impatience. This is the sticker on the inside of the Fridge Freezer which was installed about twenty years ago and I think has been out of production for some time. Our Integrated Fridge Freezer has started to build up a thick layer of “frost” across the back of the fridge part of the fridge freezer and tuning the temperature down merely made it defrost so I suspect that its time to replace it. Looking through the internet I found that the Fridge Freezer I have is referred to as an, “integrated refrigerator”. I thought that I would start my hunt for a replacement by looking at Which? but they only had 43integrated refrigerators on their enormous list most at a ferocious price. My wife and I have now decided that it may probably be simpler to just look for a simple Integrated Refrigerator. I didn’t realize that there was a difference between a Stand alone refrigerator and an integrated refrigerator. Thanks for your interest. I tried to attach a photograph of the label but could not so I copied the following detail.
Diplomat. Type: HTI 2121 Model : APM 6518 ART. No : 595442 Ser. No : 80730076 230V 50 Hz 90W Net volume 2021 (7.1 cu ft) Net weight 44kg Gross weight: 46 kg Refrigerant; R 134a 0.070 kg Fuse: 13 A System compressor Class: N Made in Slovenia
Great stuff, what you have is a fridge in the smallest sector of the refrigeration market.
You still have a reasonable choice of ones with or without the freezer box. this link will point you in the right direction. Only two things to remember you need 122cm tall machine and it must have sliders on the door fixings that aside it’s all good.

Don, Many thanks for your information. Regrettably I’m not sure that I understand what you mean by: “what you have is a fridge in the smallest sector of the refrigeration market.” I may have been misled when I was told that Diplomat went out of business some time ago.
I looked at the link and note that the fridges shown require sliding doors. My current fridge has hinged doors and I have to say that I’ve never seen an integrated fridge with sliding doors and I have no idea if a changeover can be made from my hinged doors to sliding doors.Brian
Manufacturers spec says your fridge has plastic sliders between the two doors. You should see these when you open the door.
Integrated column fridges are not as popular as under the worktop ones .
I checked on Which? and could not find the Hotpoint HS12A1DH which you showed me. However, all of the Hotpoint refrigerators shown by Which? had a safety warning regarding a plastic back cover, not a metal one. I wonder if Which? are being to picky because I can’t imagine any manufacture deliberately using duff material.
Hi
Sorry there is no H on the end of the model number. As for the Which magazine you need to to see when the review was carried out as I have known Which to be up to a year behind. As I understand it all refrigeration produced as from next January 2019 will need to have some form of flame retardant back. Hotpoint like a lot of others are already incorporating this backing in their production runs.
Al new Hotpoint deliveries I have had since July have had these backs fitted. The particular model i question is currently out of stock for approx four weeks so I feel confident it will come with the backing fitted.
