Answer
Measure your cabinet opening width at three heights to ensure consistency, then check the refrigerator's case width on the spec sheet; ideal models range from thirty-five point six to thirty-five point nine inches wide. Also, measure depth and height dimensions. Consider ventilation space one to two inches behind and extra top clearance. Using painter’s tape to outline footprint and door swing on the floor helps visualize the fit before purchasing.
