Hello all.
My integrated fridge is in need of replacement, and the currently fitted model has the sliding bracket type arrangement to connect the cabinet door to the appliance door, with the cabinet door hinged on the cabinet itself.
The fridges I'm considering replacing it with are all of the fixed hinge type, which as I understand it means that the cabinet door hangs on the appliance door itself, and is not separately hinged.
Can I do a straight swap between these two fridge types, or is there anything special about the design of cabinets/doors to accommodate this sort of hinge? I've been struggling to find out any info about this, and wanted to check before buying a fridge and finding myself driving up a DIY cul-de-sac...
Thanks in advance,
