Morning all. I need to replace door hinges on my integrated Neff fridge, as one of them has broken. I have sourced the correct replacement hinges and now want to fit them. Will I need to remove the fridge from its housing to do this or can I do this with the fridge in situ. The fridge is not at floor level so would be heavy to remove in my own and I have no-one to assist me with it.

Hi,
Can the fridge be pushed backwards within the cabinet - it certainly wouldn't have been possible to push the fridge into that gap with the whole hinge in place!
To save some effort, you may not need to replace the mounting plates of the hinges - just slotting the arms into position and attaching?
Edit: although looking closer, there don't appear to be traditional mounting plates - can you post a link to the hinges you've found?

Thanks for the pic.
I may be wrong, but to me, it looks as if you only need to undo the front screw, and the rest of the hinge should detach; sliding out from a hidden backplate.
It may still be awkward to remove, so having another pair of hands on standby wouldn't be a bad thing!
But, you (hopefully!) shouldn't need to remove the fridge - good luck

That's correct, the single screw will allow the main part of the hinge to slide out. Just had a look at my fridge freezer which has the same set up except the fridge is about 5mm further back so the hinge backplate screws are just about accessible. I suspect as you mentioned in your earlier post the fridge could be pushed back a smidge.
