Fitting your own Integrated Fridge and Freezer

melonhead87

Hi All


We have recently purchased a house and discovered that we need to purchase both a new fridge and freezer. As they were integrated and looked in good condition when we viewed the house (they were turned off at the time as it was vacant possession) we have not factored this in to our budget.


We have however scraped together the money to buy them, but when going through to checkout there is an additional fee of £90 (Each!) to install these.


I was just wondering if anyone had fit their own integrated, undercounter fridge/ freezer that could share their knowledge? Is this easy enough to do? (The OH is fairly handy but doesn't have any kitchen fitting experience/ knowledge!) or would people recommend that we just suck it up and pay the £180 installation fee?


Any prior knowledge / advice would be a huge help as we're both totally new to this!


Thanks Everyone

If you now what you're buying then the first thing I would do is download the manual... google it

If he's handy, definitely give it a go. I would but I'm tight fisted. Basic instructions should come with the new kit and you can use the old one as a guide - take photos before removal?

As somebody that does this routinely, they are relatively straightforward. The thing that flummoxes most people is fitting and aligning the cabinet doors onto the appliances.
