Beko washing machine depth sanity check

[DIYdisaster]

Hello,
Our old Beko washing machine died suddenly last night (next day Sunday, typical :() and we need another asap (allergies/sensitivities).
The drum motor has gone I guess, the pump still works but the drum doesn’t turn.

Decided to go for a cheap Beko (the only thing we can get quickly).

We’re looking at a couple of machines:
BEKO WTK72011W 7 kg 1200 Spin Washing Machine – White
depth 550mm

BEKO RecycledTub WTK84011W 8 kg 1400 Spin Washing Machine – White
depth 590mm

My question is this: will these fit into a 600mm integrated slot?
Height and width should be OK, if a bit snug, it’s the depth I’m unsure about.

Tried to find out online/by ‘phone but for various reasons have managed to do so hence this query.
Basically what I want to know is does the stated depth *include* space for cables, pipework etc. (machine has an “overhanging lid” at rear) or must you allow extra space (how much?) for these bits and bobs?
Really don’t want to drag the existing machine out on my own as it’s full of soggy washing…
Any help much appreciated!

Cheers!

when you replacing an integrated unit with a normal machine the biggest problem is the kitchen kick strip. the integrated units are stepped to account for this while normal machines are not

Kickboard’s been removed as the bust machine wasn’t integrated either 🙂
Thanks for taking the trouble to reply, much appreciated.
Cheers!

Before buying a new machine, have you checked the motor brushes? Might be a cheap fix.
