We moved in to our new build property about 3.5 years ago and we've come to a time where we need to defrost our fridge freezer which was fitted in to the property by the builders when we moved in.
I'm looking for the plug socket so that I can turn off the fridge freezer only to find that it has been placed in a completely unaccessable place (see pics) directly behind the fitted unit.
Is this right? Are there any laws, rules and regulations that prevent this sort of lunacy?
3.5 years in to the property, do the builders have any responsibility for this? Should I raise it with them?
Plus I think we have exactly the same problem with the dishwasher.
Many thanks.

Picture 2 - view from the top looking down the back - you can just make out the plug on the right hand side.
Picture 3 - no access from underneath
