We installed this refrigerator in a space that was made for a counter-depth refrigerator. The depth of this model is about 4 inches deeper than the counter-depth refrigerator that we replaced. The new refrigerator fits fine in the space and the doors allow for a full opening without restriction. However, if one of the sides is flush with a wall that extends beyond the door opening, the access to the interior will be restricted and would limit the "full view" and full access when both french doors are opened.

Allow for a 1" (2.54 cm) space behind the refrigerator. If your refrigerator has an ice maker, allow extra space at the back for the water line connections. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave a 3³⁄₄" (9.5 cm) minimum space between the refrigerator and wall to allow the door to swing open.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If the side wall depth is flush with the refrigerator before the door/handle you should be ok but if the wall comes out to the handle you will need additional space maybe 3/4 of an inch to open the door all the way. Mine sticks out from the wall so I don't have a problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.You will not be able to open the door fully. It will open but the side drawers inside will be in your way.
