URGENT: Advice On Buying New Fridge

iwannamotorbike

Hi

My fridge has sadly got the hots for me. Any advice, discounts, vouchers, links etc to help in the purchase of a new fridge PDQ would be more than welcome.

I believe it to be a standard size but it must be able to be installed into a fitted kitchen with a wooden door attached.

You can probably tell I've never had to replace one of these before ??? so I don't really know what to do.

Look forward to hearing from you all out there

You really need to check the measurements though not all spaces in fitted kitchens are the same...............do you know what was in there before

Hi Trafalgar

Thanks for your help. My old fridge is in a repair shop (but couldn't be repaired :'(). l'll get the details and post them here tomorrow evening.

this post may not be that helpful but...

i did see somewhere discounts when trading in old fridges (to ensure they don't get dumped) - you may have to do a search - hope you find it.

You could try
https://www.clearance-comet.co.uk
It's comets auction site where they sell off their seconds.
Items come with a one year warranty and the prices are about 50% -70% of the new price.

You can usually see a condition report which might say something like "dent in right hand side" or something like that.

Worth a look if you aren't too fussy about having a specific model and don't mind the odd scratch or dent.

Hi again

Thanks to everyone who has responded. Great idea and some good buys on the Comet Discount site, not sure I can wait for the auction to end.

The size of fridge I am after is;
H (cm) 85
W (cm) 60
D (cm) 55

I'm still not sure of the make of the original fridge, but it came with a 'Moben' kitchen (possibly from the Ocean factory?) if this helps. I've been told I need a fully integrated fridge. No one will see it once installed so a few bumps or scratches are acceptable.

Any ideas folks?

Thanks

As pointed out by Trafalgar in his B&Q link, you need an integrated fridge. I would have a look around the display kitchens in MFI, B&Q, Homebase, etc. as they often sell off their display appliances half price when changing their displays or when a model becomes obsolete. B&Q are phasing small stores for B&Q warehouse depots so if there's any in your area they would be worth a look.

Does this look familiar ..............you could hold out for cheaper...........see what others come up with.
If it's not the right sort let us know

Thanks for the link Trafalgar

Having thought about this I'm going to have to get a known brand name because by the time I've paid for delivery and fitting - if anything went wrong I'd turn into the hulk (well green anyway).

There's a discount place in Chester where I live, going to take a look in there tomorrow.

Any other thoughts welcome
