ᐅ Question about replacing an Ikea Faktum tall cabinet

Hello,

I took over a Faktum kitchen when I moved. In a tall cabinet right next to the countertop, there is a fridge-freezer combination that I would now like to replace with a freestanding unit.

Can I simply remove the cabinet? As mentioned, the countertop is adjacent to it, and there is a wall cabinet hanging above.

Hello, yes you can, unless the wall cabinet was not properly mounted to the wall and only screwed to the tall cabinet. However, this is unlikely.

Hello, thank you for the response.

Can or must the end panel then be attached to the countertop, or is it already part of the cabinet?
To me, it looks like a filler panel.

The top panel should be screwed from the inside to the cabinet carcass of the tall cabinet.
