Integrated Fridge Freezers Refrigerators with integrated freezers are incorporated in kitchen cabinets and appear as part of the cabinetry. This is a very popular option for those who want a sleek and contemporary look. You must ensure that you have enough space to maneuver the fridge freezer into position. It's important to leave space of air to allow for air circulation. Aesthetics The fridge freezers that are integrated are flush with the cabinets in the kitchen and their doors are a match to the cabinets in your kitchen. This gives them an elegant appearance. These models are a preferred choice for homeowners who want a minimalist style. They are also ideal for small kitchens or those with open-plan living spaces because they free up floor space. The size of your kitchen is the primary thing you should consider when choosing an integrated refrigerator freezer. Make sure there is enough space to allow the appliance to work properly along with any other appliances you're planning to install in your kitchen. The capacity of the refrigerator is an important factor. This refers to the amount of litres it is able to hold. There are refrigerators that can hold up to 18-litres (the same as one bag of grocery items) and as large as 350-litres for large households. After determining the size and kind of fridge freezer you require, you can start looking at the features. Certain models come with humidification systems that keep the food fresh and delicious. Others have adjustable glass shelves that give you maximum flexibility. Some models are equipped with the latest technology, such as no-frost or super freeze technologies that decrease the amount of ice. Another factor to consider when selecting an integrated refrigerator freezer is the energy efficiency. Be sure to select the model that has an A or A+ rating, which can allow you to cut down on energy consumption and reduce environmental impact. GHI experts test fridge freezers to find the best-performing ones, monitoring their temperature regulation over 24 hours, and determining which areas stay the coolest and warmest. The experts also examine the speed at which the appliance reaches its set temperature and maintains it, as well as the extent to which it recovers from being left open. They also test whether it has enough space to meet your storage requirements. Energy efficiency In recent years, fridge freezer manufacturers have made huge progress in enhancing energy efficiency and reducing operating costs. They've improved insulation standards, introduced high-efficiency compressors, and added features like temperature control and defrosting. Most integrated fridge freezers still receive a C or D rating for energy efficiency. The rating system is a bit complicated and considers not only the power usage but also the dimensions of the appliance as well as how much space it can fit inside. If you're looking for an efficient model, you'll need to select one that has a lower capacity. It's important to note that the models with the smallest capacity aren't always the most efficient. When choosing an integrated refrigerator-freezer that is energy efficient, examine the internal configuration. This is the space available in each compartment and whether the split can be adapted. For example, some manufacturers offer a 50/50 fridge as well as a freezer divide as standard while others offer a 70/30 or 60/40 split. Examine the energy labeling. This will help you determine the efficiency of different appliances, and will reveal how much the freezer and fridge consume in a year. Also, you will see the energy rating which ranges from G to A. The greener the appliance is the more efficient it is. When you are choosing a new integrated fridge-freezer, remember that eco-friendly appliances aren't just more efficient, but they are also better for the environment. A fridge or freezer that is efficient will reduce the energy use of your household. This will reduce the amount carbon dioxide your appliances emit. It may cost you a bit more to buy a refrigerator with an energy rating of high, you'll be saving money in the long run due to lower electricity costs. This is especially important if your old fridge-freezer isn't energy efficient. If your fridge-freezer is older than 10 years, it could be time to replace it with an green model. Flexibility Behind the subtly integrated facias, integrated fridge freezers are packed with innovative technology. These appliances are designed to ease your life by cutting down on the time needed to defrost your food and keep it in storage for longer. The latest models also come with compartments designed to offer the greatest flexibility. For example Samsung's FlexZone comes with four temperature settings that allow you to store different types of foods. It's ideal for keeping all your vegetables together in one place or chilling a few bottles wine when you have guests around. The Hisense My Fresh Choice has a separate zone that is able to switch between four freezer and refrigerator temperatures – perfect for storing frozen pizza and other ready-to-eat meals. In the same way, many of the fridges with integrated freezers we offer include adjustable glass shelves and drawers that are ideal for organising items of all sizes. Crispers that are controlled by humidity help keep vegetables and fruits fresher for longer. Likewise, doors with large shelves give you the space to store huge cartons of juice, milk, and more. Hisense's BigBox freezer has a number of compartments and drawers to store and organizing your frozen food. A water and ice dispenser is another option to look for in an integrated fridge freezer. This is an excellent option for anyone looking to make their kitchen more convenient and user-friendly, especially families with small children who may need an ice-cold drink or snack at any moment. When choosing an integrated refrigerator freezer, make certain to match your existing appliance's split type (70/30 or 50/50) and also check the dimensions of the doors to the cabinet. This will ensure that the new fridge freezer fits perfectly and does not require costly installation. Want to know more about a fridge-freezer that is integrated into your dream kitchen.

Maintenance The popularity of integrated fridge-freezers is growing as they give your kitchen a chic modern and contemporary look. But, if they break down it can be more complicated to get them repaired than a stand-alone appliance, and you might have to wait longer for an engineer to come to your home. There are plenty of options to try before you need to call in a repair man or woman. A lot of times, freezer problems can be solved by simple inspections and repairs instead of calling an engineer. For example, if your freezer isn't freezing it could be because there is a build-up of ice on the evaporator fan. This is a vital component of the refrigerator that needs to be regularly cleaned. This could be due to dirty condenser coils which can affect a fridge's cooling capacity. Follow our handy guide to clean and inspect them regularly. A malfunctioning thermostat may be the reason behind your freezer not working. An engineer will have to repair this. You can test this by unplugging your freezer by opening the compartment at the back of it and removing the fan. You can unscrew it and shake it. If it rumbles, then it is likely that the thermostat is defective. If you notice that your freezer door isn't sealing correctly, you can try to fix this by removing the fridge and loosening the screws on the top and a little bit along the sides of the door, and then peeling back the gasket of rubber before applying a new one. Make sure you buy the correct type of gasket for your particular model and make sure it's securely screwed in place. You can search a range of spare fridge freezer parts online such as defrost heaters terminators and timers. It is worth checking whether your manufacturer has its own spares website before you start shopping for spares. You can also check out websites like Amazon to compare prices. These sites usually include specific instructions on how to replace and install the item. These are important to follow in case you're planning to complete the work yourself.
