Standard-Depth Refrigerator
Standard-depth refrigerators typically measure between 30 to 35 inches in depth, contrasting with counter-depth refrigerators that are designed to sit flush with cabinetry.
Installation Measurements for Cabinetry
When planning installation within cabinetry, consider the following measurements:
- Height: Measure the total height, including flooring. Ensure sufficient clearance for the hinge height if necessary.
- Width: Measure the width, accounting for any countertop overhang.
- Depth: Measure the depth, including any molding or trim present.
Installation Clearances
- Allow 3 3/4 inches of clearance when installing the refrigerator along a wall. This space permits the door to open 90 degrees without the handle making contact with the wall.
- Maintain a minimum of 2 inches clearance at the rear for adequate air circulation and to accommodate water/electrical connections.
- Ensure a minimum of 3/8 inches clearance at the sides and top for ease of installation.
For optimal usage and to ensure refrigerator doors can open completely, avoid installing the unit directly next to a wall.
