Common questions
What do I need to replace my old appliance?
Record the complete model number from the rating plate, including any suffix such as /01. Add cabinet measurements and photos of the door attachment. The model family starts the search; it does not confirm every service variant or your actual kitchen installation.
Can I keep my furniture front when replacing the fridge?
Possibly, subject to checks. Compare the cabinet, front dimensions and new installation drawing. AEG describes changing from sliding to fixed fittings with attachment changes; a fridge-freezer also needs a matching lower front. This is not a blanket approval for every cabinet or manufacturer.

Is a recommendation my model’s official successor?
No. FridgeFit compares documented technical characteristics. A match does not establish official successor status or confirmed availability. Open the manufacturer source and check the complete variant and installation drawing before ordering from a retailer.
