Integrated fridge freezers

Are they all a standard size?

Could some be bigger fridge with smaller freezer and vice versa?

The fridge I have is an integrated one left by the previous owner (I completed my sale in April). It smells and I want to get rid of it.

The all tend to be the same size in total, but the fridge/freezer ratio can be what you want

So, 50-50, 60-40, 70-30 (first figure is fridge ratio to second freezer figure) are all common.

I'd normally plump for a 50-50.

The integrated doors (ie the cabinet doors attached to the fridge freezer doors) will be sized either for 50:50, 60:40 or 70:30. If, for example, you have a 50:50 arrangement, you cant put any other size in as the doors wont line up.

You can, as a bodge cowboy job secure the two doors together to the two fridge/freezer doors so it opens as one

Total bodge job though

Thanks.

I will take the measurement of both the existing fridge and the outside doors.

Could I just rip the doors off and put a normal freestanding fridge freezer? I want to get a brand new kitchen asap anyway but finances mean it might be a couple of years.

possibly, but the housing unit will probably be 600 mm wide, so the actual space available for a freestanding f/f will be perhaps 560 depending on the thickness of the housing carcase.

if you want to get a 600 mm f/f in the space you would probably need to remove the housing unit.

Depends on where it's situated

I've a J shaped kitchen. Same problem, f/f was done when we moved in but the rest of the kitchen was still in good nick. With the f/f being at the end of the J we were able to dismantle the housing and put in a free standing f/f Indeed when we remodeled the kitchen we kept the free standing where it was and built the new kitchen around it.

All integrated fridge freezers are all the same width. As krisdorey says you have a ratio choice of 70:30 60:40 & 50:50. You need to know the ratio before buying a new f/f. An easy way to find this is typing the current f/f model number in to Google.
