1 Litre is 1000 cubic centimetres.

You have 37 x 38 x 72 = 101232 cubic centimetres

i.e. 101.2 litres

1 Litre is 1000 cubic centimetres.

Nope = A litre of water has a mass almost exactly equal to one kilogram. An early definition of the kilogram was set as the mass of one litre of water. Because volume changes with temperature and pressure, and pressure uses units of mass, the definition of a kilogram was changed. At standard pressure, one litre of water has a mass of 0.999975 kg at 4 °C, and 0.997 kg at 25 °C.[7]

Eh?

You have introduced (a) water and (b) mass quite unnecessarily. The
litre was, as you say, formerly defined in terms of a mass of water.
But that ended in the 1960s. And is totally irrelevant to the fact that
1 litre is 1,000 cc.

And while cc is a unit from the CGS system it is still widely used in
practice and accepted within the SI world.

That's what I got, but it's the equivalent to 4 x 25 litre drums - which

I'm looking for a fridge freezer with a bigger freezer & smaller fridge,
so trying to visualise the capacity figures which are given in litres.

I guess I'll have to measure each drawer.

89 x 1.13652 (liters per quart) gets you 101.15 litres.

But that's a packing problem. Think in terms of tetrapaks, so about 3
inches square and 7 inches tall is a litre [or 7.5cm square by 17.5cm
tall] you'd get a 5x5 grid of them in your 37x38cm dimension, stacked 4
