Instead of self-leveling compound on a very small lower part of the floor?

Hello
I have removed a wardrobe, and a small section of the concrete slab under the old wardrobe is below the level of the rest of the floor. It was slightly sloped both upward at one end and downward a few centimeters at the other. I have now sanded down the part that was sloping upward.

It concerns an area of 30 x 100 cm, where it slopes from being level with the rest of the kitchen floor to being about 1 cm below the level.

Since I plan to lay soft underlayment and laminate flooring on top, but only a refrigerator will stand in that corner, I was thinking I might avoid having to mix self-leveling compound and use some regular pre-mixed filler, husfix, or something else that dries quickly and that I can apply to the small section that is below level and even out with a scraper. Similar to how you would fill a wall. As mentioned, no one will walk there, it's just a corner where the fridge will be placed.

Hello
I have removed a closet, and a small part of the concrete slab under the old closet is below the level of the rest of the floor. It sloped slightly both upward at one end and downward a few cm at the other. I have now sanded down what sloped upward.

It's an area of 30 x 100 cm, where it slopes from being level with the rest of the kitchen floor to being about 1 cm below the level.

Since I'm going to lay a soft underlay and laminate flooring on top, but only a fridge will stand in that corner, I was thinking if I could avoid having to mix self-leveling compound and use some ready-mixed filler, husfix, or something else that dries quickly and that I can apply to the small section that's below the level and smooth out with a scraper. Kind of like plastering a wall. As mentioned, no one will walk there since it's a corner where the fridge will stand.

You're looking for a common floor patching compound. However, it does require mixing.

Regular floor leveling compound is what you're looking for. However, you need to mix it.

Do you mean powder that's mixed with water, like self-leveling concrete, but thicker?

Why doesn't regular ready-mixed compound work, or some form of house fix or filler that's spread out?

Do you mean powder that is mixed with water, in the same way as floor leveling compound, but becomes thicker?

Why doesn't regular pre-mixed filler work, or some type of husfix or filler that is spread out.

Husfix should work, but you also need to mix it.

Yes. But this floor filler, what is the difference compared to regular pre-mixed filler?

Why doesn't regular pre-mixed putty work then, or some form of house fix or filler that is spread out.

Floor leveling compound can handle the weight of objects, regular putty cannot. Yes, you mix it with water and prime the surface before.

Floor leveling compound can handle the weight of objects, ordinary filler cannot. Yes, you mix it with water and prime the surface before.

Soft leveling material and laminate flooring will be laid on top. Then a fridge will stand there. In that case, maybe ordinary filler or gypsum plaster should work, since no one will walk or anything will stand directly on the filler? Mostly to raise the height a bit.

Or do you mean it could sink even under the laminate floor because the fridge is sitting on top of the laminate floor?

Thank you for all the help. It ended up being flytspackel. Then underlagsfoam and laminate flooring. Turned out well.
