I'm near my wits' end trying to find a fridge to fit into a space 81cm high and 51 cm wide. It looks like a space about the size of a fridge, but fridges just don't seem to come that short (apart from tiny beer fridges). Any bright ideas where I might find one apart from comet, dixons, homebase, kelkoo, pricerunner, argos, tesco...

What you need to ask for is an apartment sizes fridge. We must live ina different area because I have never heard of any of the stores you have mentioned. Sorry.

All things are possible, grasshopper. Your biggest hurdle will be getting the heat from the condenser outside of the room you are trying to cool. You can build ductwork out of plywood or cardboard to an open window. Pull the fridge away from the wall put it in front of a window, and put a fan behind the fridge to move the heat. Build your ductwork to send the heat outside. Remove the doors from the fridge. Point the fan into the freezer area and turn the fan on full blast. Adjust the temperature dial in your reefer/freezer/room A/C to the mid-point. Unscrew the light bulb (don't want that heat load). A refrigerator runs constantly as it is. The more air you can get across the indoor and outdoor coils will help remove the heat from your room. Be aware that a refrigerator is only designed to remove the heat from a 14 sq ft box, so the smaller your room is, the cooler you can get it. It won't be able to cool off a 1500 sq ft house, but it could cool a 100 sq ft room. It will start to condense the water from the air in the room (mostly from you sweating and breathing), and start to run out the bottom of the fridge. you might need to run a condensate line out the door. Also the ice in the freezer compartment will thaw out; this is a good thing, as it is absorbing the heat in the room. If more ice forms, move your fan closer to the freezer area. Let us know how it works out.

That sounds about like the size of my dorm fridge that I had in college. Check out GE's appliances. They should have some about that size. The only problem is that the freezer section does want to tend to freeze up. Lowe's, Best Buy, or Circuit City would be good places to check out.

Try Lowe's. If not you might have to widen that opening to be able to put a frig there like you want tyo do. Just make sure if you start to do this, that there is stability for the wall before you cut or widen. It could be a wall holding up some of the main celing structures in the house or room. Always research first.

Best Buy or Circut City
They have been known to be very helpful in that if they do not have it a good sales person will in fact find it for you. I have had nothing but good experiences at both these stores.
