How to Choose Fridge Dimensions and Counter Depth
                     How to Choose 
Fridge Dimensions 
and Counter Depth
The "Counter-Depth" refrigerator is a refrigerator designed to blend in 
with the surrounding cabinets and countertops. The size of the "counter 
depth" coolers is generally, the side-by-side model of the "counter 
depth" coolers is a little shallower than the standard coolers. 
They are also slightly wider or taller than the standard model, thus 
maintaining ample internal space. The base box depth of these 
refrigerators is typically 24 to 25 inches, but the overall depth (including 
the door) varies slightly from manufacturer to manufacturer. 
1. The depth of the kitchen 
countertop may be slightly 
different
Base cabinets are typically 24 inches 
deep but are sometimes positioned 
slightly forward from the wall to 
allow room for backsplash. In some 
decorative treatments, the 
overhang of the kitchen counter can 
increase by 2 inches. It is not 
uncommon for the leading edge of 
the work surface to extend up to 28 
to 30 inches from the rear wall. If 
the cabinets or countertops are 
customs made, the overall depth 
may be less or greater. 
2. The so-called countertop depth 
refrigerator rarely exactly matches 
the countertop.
Generally, the total depth from 
the back of the appliance to the 
front of the handle is 
approximately 30 inches. 
However, the depth of the 
refrigerator box itself (measured 
without the door) is typically 24 
to 25 inches, which matches the 
depth of standard cabinets and 
countertops. This means that you 
can expect the refrigerator door 
to extend forward from the front 
edge of the standard counter. 
3. Appliance manufacturers have 
several ways of expressing the 
depth of the refrigerator
Sometimes these numbers differ by as 
much as 6 inches because some 
manufacturers measure the depth of 
the device at the edge of boxes 
without doors, some measure the 
front of the door, and some measure 
the front of the door handles and 
hardware. Make sure you understand 
the dimensions referenced in the 
measurement. Ideally, you should find 
several different depth measurement 
methods listed. 
The double door fridge may require a small space 
between the back of the appliance and the wall. This will 
make the total installation depth of the device slightly 
greater than the actual size.
