Under counter wine fridge

uk-pedro

Hi,

I'm having trouble finding a wine fridge and wondered if anyone has had a similar issue?

The space I have available is an end cabinet, which is 260mm wide internally, which is the dimension I'm having trouble with. One the one side of the space is a divider and then a integrated dishwasher, on the other side is the end panel.
I think I could remove the divider but this would only give me an extra 18mm.

The problem is I can only find wine coolers/fridges that are 300mm wide!!

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers,
Pedro

They're designed to fit a certain number of bottles in width. If one bottle wide is 150mm and two is 300mm, then 260mm is probably too wide for one bottle and too slim for two.

Appliances are usually made in standard widths as well to fit into kitchen units.

I presume you're trying to fit this into an existing kitchen, otherwise you'd be rejigging the design.

Buy a skinnier one and a filler piece is your answer, unless you start swapping units around too.

Thanks for the reply.

Just to be clear, the door on my cabinet is 300mm wide but the inside space in the cabinet is 260mm, but to be able to put a 300mm wide cooler in I wouldn't be able to have the sides of the cabinet - if that makes sense.

So take the cabinet out! It's supposed to replace the cabinet, not fit within one.

I can't as one of the sides is the end panel as explained in the first post!

hmm - good point. I don't have anywhere else so I'll have to give it a go if I can find one that fits...

Remove end panel, fit 300mm fridge, replace end panel on side of fridge, now ~20mm futher out? Or does the worktop stop at exactly the same length with no overhang?


Or, get a 150mm undercounter wine fridge which will only take one bottle for width. They do exist.
