Refrigerator with 80 cm body

Hello everyone,

unfortunately, I couldn’t find any suitable answers using the search function and now I’m hoping for your help. My new Metod kitchen with white Bodbyn fronts is supposed to have a refrigerator and a freezer. Due to space reasons, they cannot be placed in a tall cabinet, so they have to go under the countertop. Most good refrigerators are 88 cm high, not 81.5 cm like the ones from Ikea. I would like to install the following appliances:





Will it fit if I order the carcasses of the Ikea fridge and freezer cabinets (without the appliances) and, for example, leave out the base?

You would help me a lot

Hello,
usually, no cooling device is built into a cabinet under the countertop; instead, an under-counter device is used that is supplied and ventilated through the plinth.
In a base cabinet, you would only have a maximum niche height of 77 cm and would need a ventilation grille on top of the countertop.

Thank you very much for the quick response. Can't I use the ones mentioned above? So basically just build underneath without a cabinet and then provide a ventilation grille, that should work, right?

No, that is not possible.

actually not? what is the problem if I simply place an 88cm fridge on the floor and lay the countertop over it. The front should of course be attached, and then of course ventilation grilles will be installed in the countertop.

Background: I would like an A fridge, and I also find those with ventilation at the front rather impractical...

Thanks for the help so far!

Hello,

ventilation grilles in the countertop alone are not enough, see .
(From the online product description of the first device).
Air must be supplied from the front in the base below the refrigerator.
