“These fridges are popular for a reason!”
Written on: 11/05/2013
I've had my red Smeg fridge freezer for about 7 years now without any real problems. Yes, you do have to regularly defrost the freezer section or it gets really iced up.I think one of the shelves broke when I was cleaning it but no hassle to replace it. I'm thinking about replacing the red fridge with a cream one but as there's still a few years' wear left in it, I'll sell the red one for a couple of hundred quid. Because of all the bad press the Smeg retro fridges get, I have looked around... (read more)

“Left Me Cold”
Written on: 06/05/2013 by Chrisimo
I was seduced by how this fridge looked - lovely bright colour and sensuous curves. But now it needs constant defrosting no matter what setting you have it on, all the door trays and salad trays are cracked and broken. It's rubbish. Definitely style over substances. I thought Smeg was a top brand but I won't be buying another of their products. (read more)

Great retro looking fridge,initially took a few weeks to get the SMEG levelled up properly but then had no problems at all until 6 months ago when the internal light started to flicker (more off than on) whenever the fridge door was opened so i changed the bulb over which has proved to be a big mistake has it hasn't worked since,this does become a problem at night when the kitchen lights are off & we just want to grab a drink out of the fridge but i am going to have another go at replacing...

Purchased this as I always wanted one in lime green had it two months the door on the fridge the seal at the top was coming apart. Had it replaced they said my kitchen floor was not level. New door fitted I have left it while the same thing happening but the seal has come away a lot making the fridge at the back wet with the warm air getting in leading to leaking water on the floor at the back. Rang again. I need a new door they say my kitchen floor is not level. Never had this problem with... (read more)

May I ask whether SMEG have ensured and improved on the quality of their plastic components since your model and year? Were you able to buy new parts to replace your cracked and shattered ones?

If it was a racehorse..it would have been put down by now. Icebox door has broken and is long gone..shelves are poor and broken..and it drips water It has terrible build quality and durability. I have to defrost it regularly I would never buy another as they are rubbish. It was cheap enough at the time I think..and my wife loves it. which brings me on to this point: it is still working 6 years on..and does keep stuff cold..so that is all I can say for it.

Written on: 23/10/2010
Without question our worst purchase EVER! The first one was delivered with a faulty seal and was replaced after a week. The second lasted two whole months before the freezer door tab broke and yes, the seal also failed to seal the fridge properly. The freezer compartment drips water on to the food beneath, and the light has a will all of it's own.
I know it may look good, and everybody assumes SMEG is a great make - but no, just because it's expensive does not mean that this is good...

I wish I could also say something good but it's the same story for quality control down here in Australia. Broken plastic within, trays etc. I wish I bought an old round one, with a cast metal handle as that after a recondition would have gone for another 40 years. Now that's a good business idea, new motors in old retro fridges, classic not plastic!!!

My wife wanted a SMEG FAB fridge a few years ago. Nothing but trouble from the outset. I have a fix for broken door shelves. Inevitably the lugs in the door that support the clear plastic shelves will break off. Don't buy a new door. Buy some 1" sticky back velcro tape from ebay. You'll need about a metre for the two big shelves. Stick this on (it is a bit tight when refitting but persevere it will fit), and hey presto, problem solved. The freezer compartment door hinge has broken now, so I... (read more)

Anyway,if anyone is interested i have found a good easy way to repair the freezer box door (so called hinges).

When the fridge light stopped working (even with new bulb), I realised...it's not me!!! Then I googled reviews on this fridge, and low and behold, lots of others have had the same experience. The plastic corners of the main shelves have now broken and are supported by thin pieces of wood, and the door seal has always had a gap at the top right.... (read more)

Mine is over 4 years old and the freezer door broke about 2 years ago (expensive to replace)so we just sealed it up and don't use it.

Purchased the Smeg Fab 28 just over 4 years ago. It was a big, expensive mistake, and we didn't even pay close to the full price, having purchased from an internet retailer. The seal on the door went just before the guarantee, and this was repaired twice (reasonably successfully after having a whole new door fitted). We have the same problem others have with the icebox dripping. The seal on this is now perished, and the icebox door is now broken. The light inside the fridge stays on... (read more)

After lots of research, shocked by the problems people have had with Smeg fridges, basically falling apart. I feel sorry for you all, but thanks for the warning having almost bought one.
Looking for Retro fridges then try these manufacturers first
Baumatic- 2 years parts and labour and 5 year parts guarantee
Gorenje- 5 year parts and labour guarantee
Lec-?
All the above much cheaper than Smeg.
Good luck
Have ordered Baumatic myself so fingers crossed

Presumably most people who buy one of these Smeg FAB 28 Retro fridges are buying it because it looks good - I did and what a fool I was. I've had it for about six years now and every time I open it, I wish I hadn't bothered buying it. The inside of the door is virtually shelf-free now as one by one, they've all broken including in a couple of instances, the actual bits of plastic on the door that hold them on so no point in replacing the shelves as there's nothing to hang 'em on!

Loved the look of our new Smeg FAB 28 Retro but in no time at all it was clear that this was a case of style over substance. Door on ice box broke, compartments on door broke, door fails to shut and now glass shelfs have broken! Ironically it no longer even looks good as after only a year rust started bubbling up on both sides. It looks 60 years old and I don't mean in a stylish way!

I love the Smeg FAB 28 fridge I bought, but I can understand some of the other reviews. They are not the best quality, no doubt, but it's important to remember what it is!
It's an Italian manufacturer, and it looks great, like an Alfa. It'll never be built like an Audi or Merc, but it's got more style in its little toe than lets say an AEG fridge.
Mine arrived about 3 weeks ago and I got a decent price on it. I am happy with the fact it keeps my food cold or frozen, and my mates and family...

My experience of my Smeg FAB 28 retro is the same as all the other reviewers. Within a year the rubber seal on the door broke. The entire door had to be replaced. We have had to replace the plastic bottle holders and the other containers attached to the door. The freezer door at the top never closes properly. We have also replaced it numerous times as the fragile 'pin- type' fasteners snap off. All these replacement parts are expensive. Also as the freezer door is not designed to close too... (read more)

I have had my fab 28 fridge for just over 6 years and i have had to purchase 6 ice box doors as they only last approximately 1 year. Smeg refuse to admit that this is a design fault.

I have had problems ever since we bought our FAB 28 fridge. The Freezer door gave way after about 1 year. I think everyone that has one of these has replaced the door. But my biggest issue at present is that the plastic insert on the back of the main door is very cheap. The lugs which hold the bottle carriers perish after 3 years and now I cannot use them. The repair solution from Smeg is to order a whole new door at a cost of £266.40. Outrageous! Don't buy this Italian rubbish. Nice... (read more)

A triumph of style over substance. We bought our SMEG FAB 28 Retro fridge freezer about three years ago. After 13 months we had a problem with the thermostat/coolant system; There was a blockage in the pipes that circulate the coolant fluid. That was fixed, then the shelves gave up the ghost.

I had similar problems to others with my Smeg FAB 28 fridge freezer. Several of the shelves in the door have shattered and broken. When I contacted Smeg, they told me that the items I was storing in the fridge door were too big, i.e. a 4 pint container of milk would cause damage, and instead I should have 4 single pints of milk!!

I bought my SMEG FAB28 Retro Fridge on Ebay, and was not concerned to learn that 'several bottle shelves were missing, but easily available from SMEG'. Indeed they are, and at an astonishing price! They charge £23 for a piece of plastic (the shelf), the front lip of which is so low that you also need a metal bar guard, which is £29.70, and possibly another piece of plastic guard to stop the bottles falling over, at a mere £14.66.

We brought the retro Smeg fridge freezer 3 years ago and everything has gone wrong. The seals have cracked and rotted. It continually drips water down the back and from the inside ceiling which has rotted the seals and makes the butter sections mouldy as water leaks in. The plastic sections crack and have been replaced multiple times due to the plastic not being frost proof!! It looks wonderful but is a nightmare - we are having to replace it as it is now continually wet and mouldy
