Before ordering your new refrigerator measure the space available.

If your space is exactly 35 3 4 wide i would suggest considering an alternate narrower model. The space between the refrigerator and sidewall allows the appliance cool. The free space measurements refer to the distance between the fridge and cabinets or other objects. Put in a small 3 4 filler and be able to open the fridge a little more than 90 degrees but still not all the way.

All measurements on this page use the australian metric system. Put in an 18 pullout pantry between the wall and fridge be able to open the fridge all the way but would only have 18 of counter space between fridge and sink which also means losing those upper cabinets. Thankfully the freezer on the bottom keeps running ok. But you may not realize that if the door of your unit opens.

French door refrigerators are easier to use next to a wall but they need room. The maytag manual says i need a minimum of 3 3 4 between the fridge and the wall to allow the door to swing open and the electrolux data specification sheet says absolute 4 1 2 minimum clearance will only allow for 90 degree door swing which will provide drawer crisper access with retricted removal. Most manufacturers recommend 1 inch of space around the refrigerator. Use the two panels on the sides they are usually 1 1 2 that will leave you with 33 for your fridge and you will be 1 1 2 away from the wall so the door can open freely.

I would like to move my samsung french door refrigerator away from the wall to clean it in back the top compartment is overheating and shutting down.
