33" Counter Depth fridge

6 years ago
last modified: 6 years ago

Has anyone used a 33" counter depth fridge, know someone who has, or installed for a client? I have a space that is only about 66" and I want to put in appliances that will fit there including 27" wall oven combo. The one I am looking at is KA which has a 22.1 square capacity.

    I'm interested in this also but am worried the capacity in a 33" counter depth fridge is not large enough.

    You can fit a 36” in that space, with the right appliance options. And right Kitchen Designer. There are very few 33” counter depths, and most are the objectionable service record Korean ones. A built in is what’s really needed.

    KitchenAid does not classify its 33", 22 cf refrigerator, model KRFF302EWH. as a cabinet-depth refrigerator as its depth without doors is 28-1/8". The 33" cabinet-depth refrigerator with the greatest capacity (18.6 cf) appears to be the GE GWE19JSLSS whose depth without doors is 24". Only 1/8" clearance on either side is required.

    For comparison Samsung claims a 33" standard-depth refrigerator with a capacity of 25.5 cf.

    My understanding is that refrigerator manufacturers do not recommend that ovens be placed adjacent to refrigerators for obvious reasons. With 66" total width and 27" (or even 30") ovens, perhaps you could design cabinet space between the appliances, even filling the gap with foam board insulation.

    I noticed KA has been changing their website a little mostly with pricing. I swear I saw it listed as a counter depth 33" but now it's not. I did see the GE one you mentioned. Usually the ones at that size with comparable cf are taller a bit.


    Anyway, I was off on my measurement and didn't realize the KD moved our hallway door a few inches to accommodate a 36". I was concerned about the ovens and fridge being next to one another but I pulled up several images on Houzz showing them side by side with cabinet gap between them. I will ask about filling in with foam board insulation.

    There is no issue with ovens next to refrigerators if proper clearances are maintained for both to open.

    @User "There is no issue with ovens next to refrigerators if proper clearances are maintained for both to open."

    Of course there's an "issue". It makes no sense to put an appliance that substantially raises the ambient air temperature -- as it raises its internal air temperature up to 550 degrees -- adjacent to an appliance attempting to reduce its internal air temperature to zero degrees. It's no different than leaving a window open while running the AC. Who would do that?

    I was wondering why I couldn't find how to clean coils on a fridge. My old one I took a vacume to a few times a year. I wish they were easier to clean underneath. I can barely get an attachment under there and dust bunnies and other crud creeps me out.

    Leaving the window open while running the AC doesn't damage the AC either.
