Discontinued appliances: how to replace refrigerators with non-standard dimensions

It's common during kitchen renovations, or even more so when renovating older boats, to find ourselves replacing appliances that are no longer available on the market. How do you find replacements?

Most appliance brands tend to offer models with similar measurements, making it easy to replace and switch between models or brands. As with all markets, however, trends, fashions, or standards change over time, making it difficult to find a replacement. You could resort to the second-hand market or old warehouse stock, but be careful because the warranty coverage will no longer be valid and you could come across products that no longer comply with the standards. Household appliances are subject to very strict regulations, both regarding the use of certain materials and the presence of protection or alarm systems. Considering in particular refrigerators, be careful, as discontinued models may contain prohibited refrigerants.

So what should you do? Always rely on a qualified professional who can guarantee your purchase, such as Frigonautica, which has been serving its customers for years with personalized and expert solutions.

By the way, did you know that some of our models are actually based on old appliances? For example, our FRS50 model can replace an old U Line ice maker, or our FR60 model can replace an oven.
