Hey folks, we moved to our house nearly 5 years ago and the previous owners had fitted a new kitchen, pretty poor quality workmanship, including misaligned doors etc.
Anyhow, the main culprits were the fridge freezer/dishwasher/washing machine.
Over time I changed the dishwasher & washing machine to non-integrated versions ( I can't stand integrated appliances) and the next on the 'hit list' is the fridge freezer, that will then solve it all as the cupboards are fine I replaced hinges etc with slow closing and all works nicely.
My worry is, the carcass that the integrated fridge freezer is inside has one panel next to the wall hung cupboard (see photos)
On the last photo, the 'joining' from the worktop, is just silicon - actually, before it was simply resting on the washing machine that used to sit underneath it - gives you an idea of the idiot fitter before! Anyway, I fitted a support bracket under that worktop before I fitted the washing machine so that part is stable.
The top and 2nd photo show the cupboard that it may be 'joined' to, I just don't want the cupboard falling off the wall if I remove that carcass out...
I just want to put a non-integrated fridge freezer there probably within next couple of months - you can't see it in the pictures, but the fridge and freezer doors and so poorly fitted they stick out massively when the fridge is closed, and because the whole thing wasn't put in straight, they can't be aligned correctly. (Actually top photo, you can see, the door looks open at the top... that's with the fridge door CLOSED
)
