Integrated washing machines

[Karl Major]

My old Hygena integrated washing machine has hinges 38cm apart, it is beyond repair and the insurers have sent me a whirlpool as a replacement. Unfortunately the hinges on the new one are 34cm apart, the insurers will take the new one away but expect me to find a machine that will fit my existing door.
Does anyone make integrated machines with hinges 38cm apart?
I rang whirlpool and they are asking an engineer, no idea how long that will take.

Here’s hoping.

Hi

You can get the existing holes filled and the new holes cut for the new appliance.Any kitchen fitter can do this without a problem.

Getting another appliance will not guarantee that the holes will match exactly.

Turn the decor door around 180 degrees and rout out new hinge fixing holes yourself. 💡

Indeed.

Re: Integrated washing machines

I always rout out new holes , same side but it possibly means can only fix the hinge with one screw ? However even in this worst case scenario none of mine have ever fallen off
As the Insurance Co said Don’t make a drama out of a crisis !!
Trust me , it’ll be fine
