How to measure a fridge
Not sure how much space is needed around a new Samsung fridge? Always check that your Samsung refrigerator is going to fit the space that’s available by measuring the fridge dimensions and your kitchen space.
1. Width, Depth, Height
1. For exterior fridge dimensions, it’s important to factor in the Samsung fridge components such as handles, doors and compartments when fully opened, any bulkiness in the back, etc. If you’re positioning your fridge next to a wall, leave enough space on the hinge side of the door. If you’re fitting beneath a low ceiling, ensure you measure for the height as well. It’s important to always refer to the user guide/installation manual of your Samsung refrigerator.2
2. Measure the delivery path
Never forget about the delivery path. You don’t want to return your fridge because it didn’t fit through your front door, lift, stairs or hallways. Map out a route in advance to make sure the fridge can pass through as needed.
3. Ventilation space
When installing your refrigerator, it’s critical to factor in ventilation space. We recommend that you give more than 2 inches of space on all sides.2
4. Island kitchen
If you have an island kitchen, make sure your fridge is not obstructed by the island. Measure the fridge dimensions in advance with all doors and compartments fully opened, and compare with your actual space.
