Freezer drawers

Baldytyke88

My Hotpoint freezer is in need of new drawers. It occured to me that the fronts clip off and there are some available online.

My freezer has 3 different sizes, has anyone needed no drawers? Seems strange, the whole drawers are expensive, £30+

Just hoping I can get the right size and they are an easy fit. This one is not the correct size.

Sorry not it's not clear what you're asking? are you asking if anyone had freezer drawers where only the drawer front was damaged and were thus able to change just the fronts.

I was quite surprised that the drawers didn't last, just wondered if it was common. The ones on ebay are a different size, but not looked properly yet.

Quite expensive to replace, especially if buying the whole 3 drawers from Hotpoint.

One of the main causes of broken freezer drawers is folks giving them a big heave when they've got stuck due to a build up of ice.

Yep they are very expensive.

Hi
We needed new freezer drawers but we were able to find someone selling the same freezer (not working) very cheap with the drawers intact so we bought the freezer and used those drawers to replace our broken ones.
So I'd suggest checking Facebook marketplace & eBay and you might get lucky.

If your freezer has proper shelves, as opposed to draw runners, you could dispense with the draws all together.

That is what I have done,if it's ok I may just do it permanently.
