The whirlpool/Kenmore side by sides should fit your specs with room to spare:

They used to be known as Sidekicks.

Thanks - that has a nice height but I don't see a 48" wide configuration. We want to use the full 48" if possible. At this point we might get a pair of the LG 24" bottom freezer units.

I have same issue, different width. The older refrigerators were shorter. Today they are taller. I'm dying to replace the 30" x 64" high fridge with the 30" Fisher Paykel. There is a small amount of clearance over mine and then a cabinet to the ceiling. I could accomodate a 66" h. but the FP is 66-3/4" h. So I'm shy 3/4". Drat.

I don't think they make a 48" FP, however, so sorry as that would be of help to you, perhaps.

Loves2Cook - better get out you tape measure. Width of those units would be well over 60" wide.

Eric you're the first person I've heard of that actually has one of those units, they weren't big sellers and had a very short lifespan. I only saw them in brochures and books. That's the one with 4 doors and built-in right? Does your have custom panels?

Eric - sorry, I forgot to add a solution for your dilema. Miele's new line of refrigeration will accomodate your space. They have a max of 72" tall and several widths. 18,30,24. Problem is, who knows when thay will actually be available for delivery to your house, they will be big $$$$, and they will be a brand new product for the U.S. market so there are likely to be bugs to work out.

I had the same problem (needed 2.5 inches) & it was solved by a cabintmaker who took that much off the upper & lower reveals of my over the fridge cabinet. Fridge fit in like the space was made for it (it was!) & the difference from the other reveals isn't even noticeable.

As Leel suggests, I would modify the cabinets to fit a 48" fridge that you like.

I'm satisfied that there is nothing available in the U.S. now with the correct size and putting in something smaller would lose the built-in look. Therefore we're going to get the cabinetry modified and put in something standard-sized, most likely Thermador Freedom Columns. Definitely not the least expensive solution but it should be nice when we're done.

Thanks for the help!

Eric - like I said Miele fridges not available yet, probably this time next year if we're lucky. The fredoms are on sale now and the almost identical Bosch units are a few hundred less. I definitely wouldn't wait around for the Miele stuff.

Waiting around is not an option for us - the Euroflair fridge is a disaster at this point and needs to be replaced now. Our local Miele dealer says 30 to 90 days for Miele refrigerators (yeah right...) and it's not even clear to me that their export products will have the dimensions we need anyway (see Liebherr). We already have a Thermador range so going with a Thermador fridge seems like a good idea and the columns allow us to have the doors open the way we want (need to verify this).
