Buying a fridge is quite a task. If one makes the wrong decision, they are likely to live with it for several years, maybe even a decade. So, it is essential to get the right refrigerator. The first step is getting the size right. Getting the size right is often not as easy as one thinks. Fret not; here are the steps to find the right fridge size:

Step 1: Select the refrigerator type you want

Although the average size of a fridge usually varies based on the kind of fridge, standard fridge dimensions range from about 28 ¾ up to 39 ¾ inches in case of width, from about 61 ¾ up to 71 ¼ inches in height, and about 28 ¾ up to 34 ⅝ inches in terms of depth.

• Bottom-Freezer 

The average size of bottom-freezer refrigerators is about 29 ½ to 32 ¾ inches in width, 67 to 70 inches in case of height, and 33 ⅜ inches in terms of depth.

• Top-Freezer

On average, a top-freezer refrigerator is 28 ¾ to 32 ¾ inches in terms of width, 61 ¾ to about 66 ¼ inches when it comes to height, and about 28 ¾ up to 34 ½ inches in terms of depth.

• Side-by-Side 

The standard size of a side-by-side fridge in terms of width is approximately 32 ¾ to about 39 ¾ inches, 65 ⅞ to almost 71 ¼ inches in terms of height, and 29 ¾ to 31 ⅛ inches in terms of depth.

• French Door

The average size of a French door refrigerator is about 29 ½ to about 36 inches in width, 68 ½ to approximately 70 ⅛ inches in height, and about 29 ⅜ to approximately 34 ⅝ inches in terms of depth.

While these are benchmarks for average refrigerator size, you must check your chosen refrigerator’s dimensions in-store or online.

Step 2: Measure the refrigerator depth: Refrigerators come in two depths: they are virtually flush with countertops or extend past them.

Step 3: Measure the refrigerator width

While measuring, do so from wall to counter or anything that is on either side of the refrigerator space. If your refrigerator is located next to a wall, you must leave out 2½ inches between the hinge side of the door and the wall. This will help the door swing open. Also, make a note to measure the space that lies in front of the fridge so that drawers and doors can open without being dinged.

Step 4: Measure refrigerator height

If there are cabinets above the cutout or where you will place the refrigerator, you need to measure from the floor to the cabinet bottoms.

Step 5: Leave breathing space

Now that the refrigerator measurements are in place, add a half-inch on all sides to ensure ventilation so that it can cool down things without overheating.

Step 6: Chalk out a path:

From the nearest entrance to your kitchen, measure the width of hallways and doorways to ensure that your new refrigerator can pass through.
