Am I put normal fridge as integrated in new kitchen

Posting here for traffic, it seems when you post in the relevant topics, you get like one answer 🤔

I have a brilliant Samsung fridge freezer, which I love. Getting a new kitchen. Can I integrate this fridge in to new kitchen, with the cupboard doors? Is that possible? And still work fine?

Don't want to spend a fortune on a decent integrated f/f when I already have a good one. Also the standard integrated f/f are rubbish

I wouldn’t advise it. I did and it looked ok but over a while the freezer built up such a lot of ice I realised that while the door shut initially, the weight pulled it open a fraction. Not enough to be obvious but enough to break the door seal. Can you not just have it free standing?

Does it have to be integrated? I have a separate fridge and freezer that I'm planning to put into my new kitchen at the end of the run of units. When they wear out they will be easy to replace.

Not so far as I am aware...

Integrated ones have different dimensions and fronts.

They are different sizes , you can have it in the space without a door but not boxed in or it will sit proud .

Thank you everyone. It' doesn't have to be integrated, just thought it would look seamless. Dh was hoping for integrated but am not willing to abandon the current f/f we have

Assuming you still have the handbook you should check installation instructions carefully re space requirements when setting it up.
An integrated appliance is designed to be fitted into a confined box and handle the lack of ventilation. A stand alone appliance is designed to have a certain amount to air space around it to allow for the elements to cool etc.
It is very possible you could cause it to overheat.

Integrated fridges are a pain anyway. The sizes vary too much.
