Fridge near oven

We're currently designing the kitchen and we're having some difficulty with the location of some of the appliances due to the room being so small, in the design we've put together, there's an electric oven, gas hob in a unit, then next to that is a 400mm unit then the fridge, we've been told by one electrician that its not possible to have the fridge (the fridge would be free standing) so close to the oven, and by another that its fine, I was just wondering which was right?
Thankyou

it is totally fine having an oven next to your fridge. my parents have this, they are directly side by side. the oven and fridge are both modern and therefore have good insulation so it doesn't cause any problem0

Agree - built in oven next to fridge free standing or built in is fine.0

Thirded.... the only place you really should not put a fridge or a freezer is under a hob..... then the heat from one will affect the other.0

My built in oven is next to my freestanding fridge/freezer has been as long as we've had them and its fine. No problems#6 of the SKI-ers Club :j

it did seem a bit silly 0 -
Should not be a problem. They would have to literally be touching each other and both of poor insulation for it to be any kind of issue.:A:dance:1+1+1=1:dance::A

The only issue that you may have especially if the oven is on for long periods, roasts, baking, casseroles is the heat transfer from the oven to the fridge/freezer. This would be more likely in a built in combination rather than a free standing fridge/freezer with an air gap.
It wouldn't necessarily damage the fridge /freezer just make it work a little harder whilst being affected and a minimal uplift in running costs."If you act like an illiterate man, your learning will never stop... Being uneducated, you have no fear of the future.".....

Hi, I know others have already said it, but there is no issue having the oven next to the frdige freezer. I recently had a new kitchen installed and the designer did just this because it was the best use of space. i was worried too and asked him if it was ok and he did explain that it was perfectly fine.0
