Fridge for fitted kitchen

Presumably you're talking about a fridge which is free-standing (with it's own legs) and fits in a 600mm gap between two existing units; and has a door to match the rest of the kitchen?

If so, yes, they're a standard size (or at least they are now - would be worth double checking the dimensions against what you have now.

They are readily available from any fridge retailer: I'd recommend

Be warned they are much more expensive than a normal stand-alone fridge

- might just be worthwhile exploring the repair option first?

That's it yes. It sits (on its own shelf) above a freezer. The freezer is fine. I'm not at home right now, but ISTR the fridge is about 80cm in height.

Thanks for that, they are pricy aren't they !

Thanks for the advice David, Cheers

When I got mine, MFI offered a good price for their own brand models, cheaper even than the internet retailers, although they were technically basic (no frost free or suchlike).

Before you order, check the height. There are lots of different sizes depending on whether they are intended to go under the worktop (but above the plinth, or using the space behind the plinth), above the worktop, or to occupy the height from worktop to the top of wall mounted units etc.

As it happens I've got one of those going spare, awaiting ebay-ing (APM6121 I think, and almost new:

Isn't this something to do with whether it's described as 'built-in' or 'built-under'? Or do the two mean the same thing? I've never quite sussed it.

Thanks to all who replied on and off group. I removed the existing unit last night to check dimensions, and general 'ease of job', and now have a new fridge on order from QED.

QED do *appear* to be significantly cheaper than the other 'on liners', until you get to the delivery charge (40 quid!). After that they were still only just cheaper than the competition, so I went through with them.

I used QED last year to order some Hi Fi kit, and had no problems.

Thanks again.

I've used QED a few times and had no problems. They're the online version of Miller Brothers, IIRC.
