Liebherr Refrigerator Types Explained
Freestanding models stand on their own and can go almost anywhere with the right opening. Semi built-in models, like the SCB7760IM, are designed to sit in a cabinet opening for a more fitted look. Integrated models such as the IC5110IM are panel ready and sit fully inside the cabinetry.
Column refrigerators like the Monolith MRB3600L are single-purpose: an all-refrigerator column is usually paired with a matching freezer column, which lets you choose each width separately.
- Freestanding: easy to install or replace
- Semi built-in: fits a cabinet opening
- Integrated: hidden behind custom panels
- Column: refrigerator and freezer chosen separately
