changing an integrated 50:50 fridge freezer to a large fridge

spaggy

This is probably a silly question but is it easy to remove an existing 50:50 integrated fridge freezer and replace with a large fridge instead?

Also would we need to change the fascia to a new whole door versus the two we currently have for the fridge and the freezer?

Thanks : -)

If you're looking to change a 70-30 integrated unit for a 50-50 integrated unit you will need 2 new doors.

If you are putting in a single large larder one, you may get away with the existing doors but you will need to find a way to pin them together and you will also need to consider the hinge mechanisms. If its a sliding hinge unit you have and swapping to a door on door system, you should be fine. If its going the other way, it could be tricky but not impossible.

Will be fine if you brace the doors at the back with a 2 or 3 flat fixing plates
Most f/freezers have the same door connections that the fridge will so you can attach from your new fridge and fit as if it was all new
