Need help! Miele 36' Refrigerator v. Liebherr 48' Built-In
Comments (3)Miele makes a very good refrigerator, so the only thing you'd be losing by switching would be width. Can you give up that width? Do you want to? In a couple of years would you rather have the money or the fridge? Which do you like better inside? Which layout works best for you? As I see it, with the Miele you gain twelve linear inches and $800 (plus tax, if any). And you lose 12" of storage space and your first choice appliance. Which one do you want??? Is the $800 going to make a big difference to you? Is the lack of more cooler space going to make a big difference? Does the relative amount of fridge to freezer space matter to you? If it's not enough space, would having a new cheapie fridge in the garage for overflow, using the $800 savings, work better for you anyway? To me, the difference between the two units isn't big enough to call them really different, especially since you're getting more cooler space with the more expensive one, making it a fair difference (though it might not be arranged the way you can best use it). Since both units are built in, however, does the narrower fridge require more cabinet and counter footage that'll cost you more than the $800 in the long run?...See MoreBuilt-in Thermador refrigerator help needed
Comments (11)Well, we went to see the refrigerator today (thank goodness I knew there was a local store that had one on display) and were able to work it out. It turns out the door only needs to open 90 degrees and you can fully open the drawers and remove them for cleaning. That problem is solved. Now turning attention to oven/cooktop problem....See MoreBuilt in MW, trim kit, venting...help!
Comments (7)Writersblock and weissman, thanks for suggestions. have just gone on microtrim, which may be a solution, but am not sure, given my size constraints. here are my dimensions: i have 24" width and up to 21" height (between upper and lower cabs). depth would presumably be 12" so it looks built-in under upper cabs. (can go an inch or two deeper and simply tuck into the wall behind, if need be). called ge (i was looking at ge profile spacemaker II) and they recommend 2" on either side (ugghh!!). if i build a platform or shelf at some tbd height above the counter, can i put in a 23" or 23.5" M/W in that space or should i not violate the clearances ge recommends? smallest width i've found is 21.5" which is a little better, but still not quite enough......See Moreneed help with refrigerator recess
Comments (11)I do think that the upper cabinets to the left of your fridge may need a filler between it and the fridge panel so when you open the cabinet door all the way the hardware doesn't bang against the panel. I don't know the exact size, but I think normally it is 3", but also depends on the how far your pulls stick out too. But as far as the right side of fridge where you are framing the wall... Here is how we boxed in our FD fridge with walls on either side to make it look sort of built in. I plan to finish it like a cased opening too...someday soon I hope! I don't know if this helps answer your question, but for my fridge the opening between the walls is 36 1/2" wide. This leaves just a slight gap of about 1/4" or so on each side of fridge. The wall is 31 1/2" deep. The fridge box (not including the doors) is approx. 28 1/4", so I am guessing that I must have about a 3" gap in the back. The stainless doors sit 'proud' of the walls, as BB mentioned. Both doors can fully open as far as the hinges allow. When we finish the walls with trim molding, it may have to be pulled forward a bit more so the doors will still clear.. Hope this helps....See More- last year
