Can you replace an integrated washing machine with a freestanding one?

We have an integrated washer in the kitchen that's broken and we'd like to replace it with a freestanding model. Is the cutout in the cupboard going to be a problem?

"Hi,
Yes you can do a straight swap. Your freestanding machine will be 595 mm wide same as the existing integrated machine."

"An integrated washing machine is usually fitted in a more concise space to a freestanding. It depends what’s to the left or right of the integrated washing machine. With a few modifications/alterations, adequate space can be made to accommodate a freestanding washing machine…"

"Yes, you can usually replace an integrated washing machine with a freestanding one. The main considerations are removing the cupboard door and ensuring the opening is the correct size. Existing water, waste, and power connections will normally work fine."

"Yes you can easily do this. Your integrated washing machine will be 60 cm wide and has a front door attached to the Appliance remove that Appliance and you have the exact Rhyce space for your new freestanding washing machine."
