Kinds of cooling accessory

  • Column door panels: steel fronts that some makers, Siemens among them, produce for their own panel-ready column units, often with matching handles and toe kicks.
  • Handle kits: Fisher & Paykel sells handles separately for its integrated refrigeration, CoolDrawers and wine units, in styles that include Contemporary Round, Square Fine and Classic.
  • Joiner kits and strips: aluminium strips for fitting column units, or wine and beverage units, next to each other.
  • Toe kicks: stainless steel plinth pieces that finish the bottom of a column unit.
  • Ice and water filters: replacements for fridges with a dispenser.
  • Side by side connection sets: fixings that join a compatible fridge and freezer from the same maker into a matched pair.

Why are panels and handles sold separately?

A panel-ready column unit is delivered with no front at all. That leaves the finish up to you: a cabinet door so it disappears, or steel so it stands alongside a range cooker or built-in oven like professional kit. Handles are bought on their own for the same reason, letting a single style carry across every cold appliance in the kitchen.

Making the choice

Decide on a handle style

On Fisher & Paykel integrated refrigeration, handles are a separate choice. Classic suits a traditional or pro-style kitchen, Square Fine gives a slim, squared-off line, and Contemporary Round has a softer profile. Then stick to that one style on every cold appliance so the kitchen reads as a whole.

Then the width and door layout

Each kit suits one width and one door arrangement, so a set for a 60cm column won't fit a French door model. Check the appliance named on the listing.

Planning a run of columns

Putting columns side by side? You'll want a joiner kit that matches their height, plus toe kicks along the bottom. Order them with the appliances so the fitter has everything on the day.

Before you order

  • Check the model. Panels and handles fit specific appliances and widths, listed on each product page.
  • Order in one go. Buying a panel-ready fridge? Put its panel and handles in the same basket so it can be finished when it's fitted.
  • Browse the appliances. See Fisher & Paykel cooling and our built-in cooling.

Cooling Accessories: your questions answered

What does panel-ready mean?

The appliance is supplied with no front. You add either a cabinet door that matches the kitchen, or a steel panel that matches your other appliances.

Will this panel or handle fit my fridge?

Each listing gives the sizes and models it suits. Still unsure? Ring 01622 541312 and have the model number ready.

Do fridges and fridge drawers come with handles?

Not always. Some are sold without, so you can choose the style. The product page says what's included.

Which Fisher & Paykel handle style should I pick?

Whichever you like best, then use it throughout. Contemporary Round has a curved profile, Square Fine is slim and squared off, and Classic has a traditional, pro-style look. The product page gives each kit's finish.

What is a joiner kit?

A strip fitted in the gap between neighbouring columns or wine units, so the pair look like a single built-in run. Kits are made to suit specific unit heights.

How often should a fridge water filter be replaced?

As often as the manual recommends. Fridges with a dispenser frequently show a reminder, and a new filter keeps water and ice tasting clean.
