Hi D/L. No, I have made sure all the appliances still have their required space all round them, as David ensured when fitting the kitchen. I would never have the dishwasher or washing machine going after bedtime, so it had to be the fridgefreezer. There has been an update.......which came about at the same time as the nocturnal pondlife was creating criminal disturbances.
When an appliance engineer came to look at the f-f in the Summer, he saw the adjustable feet were about right - since my efforts, also the mat underneath, but said a second mat wouldn't hurt as I had a spare one. So between us we sorted it.
But he also said there is always a problem if a kitchen has floorboards............and I knew I would be unlikely to be re-flooring the kitchen.
The bad update in late August was half-expected. The f-f died on me...and it was only 2 years and five months old. One morning I found some contents suspiciously damp and the motor noise a different pitch. Luckily not much food wasted. By the evening it had defrosted itself and that was that. I had bought a seperate freezer (in the square part of the hall) and fridge which were waiting on standby.
These are functioning and I am now without both humming and vibration. The fridge is a bit small when the little family stay over!
I read reviews online of the Beko, and so many bad experiences like mine - people who would never buy Beko again. I booked the council collection for bulky items (£36) and finally it was gone. What with that and sourcing a burglar alarm installation when I am ignorant about them, it all happened. My daughter and s-i-l - and Charlie - were on two August holidays and missed it all!
