Fan-assisted cooling with LifePlus 0°C Drawer
This Smeg freestanding refrigerator uses a fan-assisted refrigerator with static freezer set-up, helping to maintain the right conditions for fresh food storage. The MultiFlow Cooling System distributes cold air evenly throughout the refrigerator for better temperature and humidity control.

The refrigerator compartment includes 2 adjustable glass shelves, 1 fruit and vegetable drawer on sliding rails, and a glass crisper cover. Internal LED lighting makes it easy to see everything clearly.
Inner door storage includes 1 door shelf with transparent cover, 1 adjustable door shelf with wire support, and 1 bottle shelf with wire support. An acoustic and visual door open alarm adds extra peace of mind, while the antibacterial gasket supports a more hygienic interior.

Frequently Asked Questions About the FAB28RBL5UK
Is the Smeg FAB28RBL5UK a fridge or a fridge with a freezer compartment?
The Smeg FAB28RBL5UK is a freestanding single-door fridge with an internal 4-star freezer compartment. It gives you 244 litres of fresh food storage and a 26 litre frozen compartment, so it works well if you want a full-height retro fridge with space for everyday frozen essentials.
Does the Smeg FAB28RBL5UK have a frost free freezer?
No, this model uses automatic defrost in the fridge section, but the internal freezer compartment is manually defrosted. That means the refrigerator is easier to maintain day to day, while the freezer cavity will need occasional manual defrosting.
What does the LifePlus 0°C drawer do?
The LifePlus 0°C drawer is designed to keep more delicate foods at a lower, controlled temperature. This makes it a good choice for storing items such as meat, fish and cheese for longer than in the main fridge area.
How does the MultiFlow cooling system help?
The MultiFlow cooling system distributes cold air more evenly around the fridge cavity. With the Smeg FAB28RBL5UK, this helps maintain more consistent storage conditions across the shelves and supports better everyday food preservation.
Can the door be reversed on the Smeg FAB28RBL5UK?
No, this version has a fixed right-hand hinge, so the door is not reversible. If you are planning the layout carefully, it is worth checking the hinge side before ordering.
How much space do I need to leave for installation?
The appliance dimensions are 1530 x 601 x 728 mm, with a depth of 732 mm including the handle. When positioning it next to a wall or tall unit, a 175 mm gap should be left on the hinged side so the door can open properly.
Is the Smeg FAB28RBL5UK suitable for open-plan kitchens?
For many homes, yes. This model has a noise level of 35 dB with a noise class B rating, so it is relatively quiet in everyday use. That makes it a practical option for open-plan kitchen and living spaces where lower noise can matter.
What storage does the Smeg FAB28RBL5UK include?
This model includes 2 adjustable glass shelves, 1 fruit and vegetable drawer on sliding rails, a glass crisper cover, 1 covered door shelf, 1 adjustable door shelf with wire support and 1 bottle shelf with wire support. Internal LED lighting also helps make the contents easier to see.
Does the Smeg FAB28RBL5UK have an alarm if the door is left open?
Yes, it includes both an acoustic and visual door open alarm. This is useful for helping protect the internal temperature if the door is accidentally left ajar.
Is the Smeg FAB28RBL5UK energy efficient?
This model has an Energy Efficiency Class D rating on the current A to G energy scale and uses 130 kWh per year. If you are comparing it with older labels, this is the model that would previously have sat in the A+++ category under the old system.
