Remodel kitchen - cabinet depth refrigerator?
Looks like I might need to buy a refrigerator prior to remodeling my
kitchen. I'm told by contractors that I should buy a cabinet-depth fridge (side-by-side), but I get different explanations of what that means. Near as I can tell, the box (excluding door) should be 23-24" deep, and the maximum total depth including handles should be 28". Does that sound about right? -- One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and a clever thing to say. ....Will Durant |

Yes, but be warned that cabinet depth (and built-ins) have less capacity for the same width as a regular refrig. If you're replacing a 36" wide refrig you'll need at least a 42" or 48" cabinet depth. Also, the refrig capacity of a side-by-side is less than capacity of one with a bottom drawer freezer. We recently replaced our Sub-Zero (bottom freezer) with a side-by-side and are sorry we did. /dan |
