How big is a freezer drawer?#
A freezer drawer is a counter-height built-in: the undercounter models are 24 or 15 inches wide and a uniform 34 inches tall, while a panel-ready double runs 24 to 27 inches wide and 34 to 35 inches tall. Depth holds at 24 inches. The table below covers each, and the clearances give the cabinet opening it needs.
Freezer drawer dimensions by configuration#
| Configuration | Width (in) | Height (in) | Depth (in) | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Undercounter 24-inch freezer drawer | 24 | 34 | 24 | a built-in flush freezer in an island |
| Undercounter 15-inch freezer drawer | 15 | 34 | 24 | a narrow built-in freezer slot |
| Panel-ready double freezer drawer | 24–27 | 34–35 | 24 | a cabinet-matched flush freezer |

Installation clearances for a freezer drawer#
- Cutout height: 34 in in of cabinet opening a built-in freezer drawer needs under a standard counter.
- Drawer pull clearance: 24–27 in in of front room a freezer drawer needs to roll fully out on its rails.
- Front venting: A freezer drawer vents through the front toe kick, so it installs flush with no rear or side gap.
- Water and drain: A freezer drawer with an ice maker needs a water line reachable inside the cabinet cutout.
Will your freezer drawer fit? Clearances and door swing#
A freezer drawer is built to sit flush under a counter, so the governing number is the 34-inch cutout height — your base-cabinet opening has to match it for the unit to seat cleanly, and the 24-inch depth has to clear the cabinet back. Because a freezer drawer vents through the front toe kick, it installs flush with no rear or side air gap, which is what lets it blend into an island or a cabinet run. Front clearance is what to plan for: the drawer needs 24 to 27 inches of open room to roll fully out on its rails, so make sure the aisle or the island overhang does not block a fully extended drawer. If the model has an ice maker, route a water line to somewhere reachable inside the cabinet cutout, since there is no space behind the flush case.

Freezer drawer sizes by type: undercounter 24-inch freezer drawer, undercounter 15-inch freezer drawer, panel-ready double freezer drawer#
The undercounter 24-inch freezer drawer is the standard built-in, giving a flush freezer in an island or a cabinet run at the full 34-inch counter height. The undercounter 15-inch freezer drawer is the narrow-slot version — same 34-inch height and 24-inch depth, but only 15 inches wide — for a tight bar or a spot where you want frozen storage without giving up a full cabinet. The panel-ready double freezer drawer is the design-forward choice: 24 to 27 inches wide with two stacked drawers and a cabinet-matched front, so it reads as cabinetry rather than an appliance. All three vent from the front and need the same drawer-pull clearance, so the decision is width and whether you want the custom panel.
