All-Refrigerator (Freezerless) Dimensions

How big is an all-refrigerator?#

An all-refrigerator, which is a fridge with no freezer compartment, runs 30 to 36 inches wide and 66 to 84 inches tall depending on whether it is freestanding or a built-in column. The table below breaks the freestanding, built-in column, and counter-depth versions down by footprint.

All-refrigerator dimensions by configuration#

Installation clearances for an all-refrigerator#

• Rear clearance: 1–2 in in behind an all-refrigerator for the coils and the water line.
• Door swing: 30 in in of front space the single tall door of an all-refrigerator needs to open.
• Top clearance: 1 in in above an all-refrigerator for airflow across the top vent.
• Pairing note: An all-refrigerator often pairs with a matching all-freezer of the same width for a built-in look.

Will your all-refrigerator fit? Clearances and door swing#

Because an all-refrigerator devotes its whole cabinet to fresh food, it tends to be tall and deep, so measure height and depth as carefully as width. The single full-height door needs about 30 inches of front space to swing wide, so keep an island or return wall out of that arc. Leave 1 to 2 inches behind the case for the coils and the water line to the ice or filtered-water dispenser, and a further inch above for airflow across the top vent. A freestanding model at 32 to 34 inches deep will stand proud of cabinets, while a counter-depth version at 28 to 31 inches sits flush. If you plan to flank it with a matching all-freezer column, confirm both cabinets share the same width so the pair reads as one built-in.

All-refrigerator sizes by type: freestanding all-refrigerator, built-in all-refrigerator column, counter-depth all-refrigerator#

The three versions differ mostly in height and how they meet the cabinets. The freestanding all-refrigerator, 30 to 33 inches wide and 66 to 70 inches tall, maximizes fresh-food volume for a pantry or second kitchen with no freezer needed. The built-in all-refrigerator column is the tall one at 80 to 84 inches yet only 24 to 25 inches deep, made to be framed alongside a matching all-freezer for a seamless wall of cold storage. The counter-depth all-refrigerator, 68 to 70 inches tall and 28 to 31 inches deep, gives the flush fridge-only look without the full built-in height. Decide freestanding, flush, or framed first, then match the width.

All-refrigerator dimensions: common questions#

What is an all-refrigerator?#

An all-refrigerator is a refrigerator with no freezer section, so the entire cabinet holds fresh food. It is often paired with a separate all-freezer of the same width for households that want maximum capacity in each.

How tall is an all-refrigerator column?#

A built-in all-refrigerator column stands 80 to 84 inches tall so it can be framed flush into surrounding cabinetry. Freestanding all-refrigerators are shorter at 66 to 70 inches.

How wide is a freezerless refrigerator?#

A freezerless all-refrigerator is 30 to 36 inches wide. Freestanding models cluster at 30 to 33 inches, while built-in columns reach up to 36 inches.

How deep is a counter-depth all-refrigerator?#

A counter-depth all-refrigerator is 28 to 31 inches deep, so it sits nearly flush with the cabinet fronts. A freestanding all-refrigerator is deeper at 32 to 34 inches.

Can you pair an all-refrigerator with an all-freezer?#

Yes, and it is the usual reason to buy one. An all-refrigerator column pairs with a matching all-freezer of the same width to build a side-by-side wall of full-height fresh and frozen storage.
