Fridge Freezer Depth Hell

logorocks

OK, So I thought this would be easy, but apparently not! Any fridge freezer gurus or someone that has faced a similar situation?

I am trying to find out if you can buy a shallow fridge freezer. That is shallow in depth, the space from the front of the fridge to the door. I don't mean to sound patronising but every-time I have searched for Shallow depth, or shallow or anything similar all I get is narrow fridge freezers and its driving me bonkers.

The reason I need a shallow depth one is lengthy but essentially I want to fit some cupbaord infront of the fridge freezer in our study to hide it but there are windows that start at about 50cm out so need something that will fit behind them.

Any help, even if it is a "they don't do them" so I can stop hoping would be appreciated.

Thanks.

I don't think you'll find one much less than 60 cm from front to back; if I understand you correctly, that's what you're looking for? There's a little variation between models, but of no more than 1.5 cm. Sorry I don't have better news than that.

I am not sure it is advisable to build a cupboard around a free standing fridge freezer. I think air needs to circulate and being enclosed could cause over heating and lead to strain on the motor.

Yes you can, they are called Slimline appliances (fridge, washing machine etc)
