Hello

I am considering whether to include the FA775 tall cabinet for refrigerator and freezer in my Ikea kitchen planning. As I understand it, with the FA775 it would be possible to install an 88 cm freezer at the bottom and a 122 cm refrigerator above it.
I have the following questions:
- Has anyone done it this way, or is the refrigerator not already too tall? 88 + 122 = 210, plus 16 (plinth) = 226, so the top edge of the refrigerator is about 2.26 m!!!
- How is it actually with the FA775, as it is not listed at all in the Ikea kitchen brochure. It is available in the online kitchen planner, but is shown with the wrong front (with 3 instead of 2 doors). If you enter FA775 in the search term on Ikea.de, it is found correctly though.
- The lower 88 cm part is only separated from the upper 122 cm part by a board. Does this board even hold the weight of a 122 cm refrigerator, or are the board and refrigerator placed on the 88 cm freezer?
Or is it only allowed to install combined partial-freezer/refrigerator units in the FA775?

Thank you very much in advance for your answers.
Best regards

Hi,

Strange thing. The cabinet still came across me. Well, whatever.

Basically, the cabinet doesn’t care what goes inside, BUT the reinforced shelves as well as the carcass are designed for higher loads but not to carry two such large and normally fully loaded refrigerators. The loads should be included somewhere in the cabinet’s information. Otherwise, please search at Ikea for reinforced shelves from Rationell in 60x52, they are the same. You can get the weights of the empty and full refrigerators from the manufacturer.

Basically, I would advise against this combination anyway, even if it would work. Have you ever stood in front of a 233 cabinet??? They are really tall. That’s why they are mostly sold with 3 doors to use the height properly. If you and your family aren’t at least 2m tall, it’s impossible to reach the upper shelves without a step stool.

Stay away from that. Either at least a smaller device or build 2 different cabinets.
