With a grim inevitability, Currys say they don’t install freestanding fridges in formerly integrated spaces. Maybe worried about safety/legal implications, I have no idea. So, it’s looking like a mini-fridge, but first must buy a small table with sufficient depth to set it on, and move something else out of the way to make space! Who knew this could get so complicated?

Thanks Electrofix; just wondering whether something like this would work? I fear the answer is no – since presumably we’d come unstuck with the fitting – though the size seems spot on. https://www.currys.co.uk/products/beko-ul4482w-undercounter-fridge-white-10253141.html

After several unavailing hours over the weekend looking for measurements for the outgoing fridge, my conclusion is it’ll have to be left in place to die and I’ll buy her a mini-fridge for use on a table top somewhere. I’m assuming they are all fairly crappy, but no other options.

Thanks don and electrofix for your helpful replies. It’s in a cabinet in the kitchen rather than under a worktop. It’s in my elderly mum’s kitchen, so I’ll take some more measurements next time I’m there, although from memory after visiting earlier today, there was 2-3 centimetres clearance on height and apparently no spare breadth. Perhaps her 20+ year old kitchen fittings are undersized for current fridges? So far my online searches have yielded fridges 50 cm wide but too tall for the slot, and ones 80 cm tall but apparently too wide! I have found a UK customer service email for Gorenje so I’ve dropped them a line to see if they have the dimensions.
