Guest Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 anyone ever dropped anything behind one of these? The unit ours is sitting in has a shelf at the top where I had a plastic wallet/binder, it's fallen down the back of the fridge/freezer and the only way to get it out is to take the whole fridge/freezer out of the integrated unit. It's floor to almost ceiling so there's no room to even poke anything down the back we can't leave it there can we as it's plastic and the back of a fridge/freezer can be quite hot? I'm in the doghouse! Actually, I think that's a bad design fault as there's no way to get to the plug socket either without removing the whole fridge/freezer! I don't s'pose anyone has any bright ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 has it fallen right down?? ie could you remove the skirting and retrieve from the bottom?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 has it fallen right down?? ie could you remove the skirting and retrieve from the bottom?? tried that but the bottom shelf which the fridge sits on goes right to the wall so there's no way to get to the back of the fridge without pulling it out if the top shelf went right to the wall as well, we wouldn't be having this problem. They must have left it like that for ventilation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 hmmm thats tricky! like you say that sounds like a bad design really. I hate to say it but I think it's a pull the fridge out job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 28, 2008 Share Posted May 28, 2008 DH spilt a jar of coffee all over the floor while trying to sort out the fridge, so hoovered it up then i got a packet of crispis from the cupboard but they were already open at one end and they went all over the floor! The bad luck fairy has well and truly paid us a visit this afternoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
