Deals/Bargain for Fridge

We are looking for a bottom mount fridge ( which can fit in our available space of 175cm x 87cm - max)
Currently we have Westinghouse 284L ( 198L + 86L) which is dying.
So given the max available space of 175cm x 87cm ) I guess we can fit in 350L fridge there, so looking for some deals for 300-350L fridge.

    How is your current fridge dying?

    Sometimes the coils just get frozen and it does not cool properly. If you are able to, empty the fridge and leave it turned off for at least 24 hours before turning it back on. Sometimes this will fix it. My wife and I were about to go out and buy a new fridge a few months back because it was making noises and not cooling. I turned it off for 24 hours before turning it back on and it is working great again.

      Don't assume appliances online is cheaper. I just bought a fridge washer and microwave and all three were significantly ($100-300ea) cheaper at harvey Norman including delivery. Even cheaper still when I could negotiate with the staff, something you don't have the option on AO.

      That being said, some models were cheaper on AO so once you have picked what you want, shop around, remembering only in store can you haggle below.

    Just get on Gumtree - Fridges galore on there. Some almost brand new when they discover it doesn't fit in the space provided

    • This is your best option along with eBay. Just try check it out in person first before agreeing to the transaction. Try aim for below 50% maximum retail sale deal price. 25% lower is better. I found a working but scratched up 8kg washing machine for $50 AUD just needed to pick it up. Works perfectly.

      Fridges are the same just try test it out first I suppose and well of course it goes without saying wash it.

      I imagine this happens with big/double fridges, not really standard/common ones.

      Regardless, my mum got a MINT condition (old school size) fridge from guntree, years back. Said it was a month old, half price. Reckons there were HUNDREDS to choose from. Shame for sellers. Awesome for humble buyers.

    Don't forget to check dimensions of all doors leading to the fridge!
