you couldn't make this up! Integrated fridge help!!!!

Defrayner

ok so we are nearing completion of our fabulous new build and finalising kitchen details etc and have just realised that the space for our integrated fridge, which was plenty big when it was just bricks is now too small after insulation board, plaster board and plaster have gone on. We are now left with a gap of 57.5cm and we need 60cm for the integrated fridge!! What can I do?? Have been looking at freestanding 55cm fridges and seems only entry level fridges such as beko etc come in this size....had planned for a full length fridge also, and the only ones i can get now are crappy ones and ones that are fridge freezer types. Raaaaaaging!!!!!!!! Is there any way in the world i can get the integrated fridge to fit??????????:(:(:(:(:(:(

electrolux erg3313aow is 540 mm wide i know that would leave things tight but even when the wooden unit goes around it and it slots it should be manageable retails around 629 i think

The Electrolux model will work. The 575mm is going to have to include the two gables of the unit the new fridge will fit into. Your biggest problem I would think is going to be able to get doors at 570mm wide to work with the setup. Make sure to get the gables as narrow as possible usually 15mm. This will leave 545mm for the fridge to fit into. The wall it is going adjacent to will also need to be very level. If it is off level it will eat into your 5mm clearance. It can be done no problem. Everything needs to be level and square.

leave the integrated cabinet as is and narrow down one of the adjoining presses ,don't know your set up but its easy enough to do if they are normal sized . doors can be got 445mm wide so would give you 50mm without having to adjust your fridge cabinet
