How to extract a fridge from a hole that is exactly fridge shaped

If you’re still having trouble getting purchase on the sides, you could try a pair of suction handles on the flat bits

This, cheap dent puller/glass lifter/etc suction cup thing from Amazon. A bit like a sea sucker with a handle. I use one to lift floor tiles in server rooms, way better than a standard tile lifter.

Take the shelves out, unscrew the door, stick it to the inside and pull it out.

Has anyone suggested drilling a hole through the wall behind it and pushing it out with a stick?

Can you just leave it in place and buy a smaller fridge to go inside the current one?

He followed someone's advice on here. He could be in serious trouble.

I was stood down, a mate of his went over today and they were going to definitely get it out and they still haven't and now he's in a huff. Stakes are getting higher, I really hope i can just walk in and whisk it out in 20 seconds.

He has genuinely bought a mini fridge and put it inside the other one.

Could be there a while.

My grandparents bought a house in the late 80s, renovated the kitchen themselves but never quite finished it. When they died in Covid times the cutlery drawer was still on a stool.

If you take the hinges off, it looks like you could just pull it forwards

Ditto.

It just looks like its a space with the fridge pushed into it, not really built in or such with the fridge/freezer door attached to the ahem chip board door. The door off inc the hinges should mean it should just slide out.

The bit at the base just looks like an attempt to make the space a bit smaller, like it was maybe constructed for a slightly taller f/f, so I wouldnt really worry about that.

Show it what you did to the last inanimate object that pissed you off....

That should convince it to shift.

Or you could look at the sticker with the model details on and get the instruction manual online which will include the installation guide and perform the reverse actions.

It'll be screwed in to the cab at the top and the bottom to stop it being pulled forwards each time someone opens it. Screws will be accessible but might be behind covers/caps or something, you've just got to hunt them down. Take cabinet doors/hinges off too.

Once you've found and removed the screws it should easily pull out but if you need more to grab onto, put the fridge doors or brackets back on.

And bear in mind it might still be plugged in somewhere so disconnect that before or while you pull it out

Get a hacksaw blade and carefully cut a slit across the roof of the fridge from the inside. Then fold/pull the top and then sides inward to create a gap and you should be able to pull it easily after that. Next time use grease or coppaslip to prevent galvanic corrosion.

Yeah, and then maybe just get a tattoo across your face saying 'I am a Failure!'

I was stood down, a mate of his went over today and they were going to definitely get it out and they still haven’t and now he’s in a huff.

Sounds like they need the chill out.

He's clearly a patient man, I would have lost the plot and just started attacking it by now.

Wait a minute is this all a plug for a political memoir and an elaborate Boris Johnson / Jennifer Accuri allegory ?

I vote for Northwind to GET FREXIT DONE!

By any means necessary, including filling it with tannerite then shooting it.

I've just wasted a mouthful of coffee and possibly a keyboard.

Can the mods rename the thread to this please!
