You could keep the socket there regardless of it being an integral or free standing appliance.
But if it was integral it would need a means of isolation (S/FCU), you still need a socket to plug in to.
But you seem to have got the idea, your S/FCU will have a supply side and a load side.
They supply side will allow you to keep other outlets powered up via that contection. Supply Line and Neutral
The load side will allow you to drop a socket-outlet(spur) from it that can be operated using the S/FCU for your appliance, as long as your fridge plug is rated at correct fuse rating it does not need to be 3amp it can be 13amp S/FCU.
You will also get away with using 1.5 T+E on the spur cable, if you wanted to.
but 2.5 is fine.
Again it is a location that is covered by Part P, even though the work that is being done is considered minor work, you will still need minor work cert and part p approval. It is a legal obligation.
