    Great design fridge with left hinge
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The new fridge works really well, love the design. Had the first fridge replaced, it was noisy. The replacement fridge is fantastic, great service form Fisher and Paykel

    Quiet efficient fridge
    A good mid range fridge. Works well. Only small criticism is that it lacks a dedicated meat tray.

    Great design and function
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Extremely happy with my F & P refridgerator. I love the shelving configuration especially the pull out freezer drawers, so practical and convenient. Quiet operation and sleek design and appearance.

    Questions & answers

    Can this still be hinged on the right hand side? James · 2024-06-20
    Hi James, unfortunately this model does not have the ability to convert the door hinge. However, the Fisher & Paykel 494L ActiveSmart Bottom Mount Fridge Stainless Steel RF522BRPX6 (separate SKU to this product) is right-hinged =) Hopefully this helps! Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    Hello AOL, we are trying to find a larger fridge to fit our existing cavity. Measurements are H1770 W900 D700. F&P RF522B requires a total depth of 725mm. Would spare 70 mm side clearance compensate for 25 mm shortage in depth clearance. Thanks Julie Julie · 2024-05-23
    Hi Julie, not necessarily - that rear clearance also takes power cords at the rear into account. What I would also recommend is measuring from floor to floor of the cavity (in case there is any floor trim, etc to take into account) and giving us a call on 1300 000 500 - we'd be able to suggest some models that would fit your space. Kind regards, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    Can this model fridge be fitted with a door kit to make it look intergrated? Frank · 2024-03-22
    Hi Frank, it can =) The compatible integration kit for this one can be found if you pop 'Fisher & Paykel Integration Kit 2006' into a search engine (the first result should lead you directly to the kit on the F&P website). You may also need a ventilation kit (that one can be found by popping 'Fisher & Paykel 873917' into a search engine) - I'd speak to your cabinetmaker to find out if that will be required, too. Hopefully this helps. Cheers, Adam from Appliances Online. AdamD, Appliances Online
    Hi - the other model with the right hand hinge has a bottle shelf/tray. Is it possible to get this here as well? Moka · 2023-05-16
    Good Afternoon, Thank you for this product question, both these models in the left and right have the same fixtures and fittings the same the only difference is the hinge side opening. I hope this information will assist you when shopping here with us at Appliances Online. Colin Jones, Appliances Online
