Thin Fridge and Gas Stove ? (26" or less)
 
I have a unique problem. The door and stairways leading down to my
basement are only 26" wide. I'm hoping to fit a upright fridge/freezer
and gas stove down there to add a second kitchen area to the house.

Does anyone know if any companies manufacture stoves or fridges thin
enough to fit down the opening?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can always go 24" gas range and have seen some refrigerators that
are exactly 26" wide and a few smaller.

This place can help with both....

Most do for apartments or campers. You may or may not have to special
order them. Here is an example.

Hi, Erik.

Another option I've had to use in the past is to remove door(s) and
pull doorway trim, to accomodate furniture, etc. Can gain you a couple
of inches. Not so unique a situation, especially with older buildings.

Litton makes several models of 24" gas and electric ranges. So does
Brown Stove Works/Five-Star. I believe Sears can order the Litton
ranges and may also have Kenmore versions.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm going to see if I can't sqeeze a
couple extra inches by removing the door frame. After doing some more
digging though I found quite a few models that will work with the
existing dimensions.

Taking the doors off the appliance as well as the house helps, too.
