Can u explain the difference b/t counter-depth & buit-in fridge?
Comments (5)Counter depth is a marketing term that generally means the fridge is 24" deep BUT that can be just the box or include box and door. A friend of mine wound up with a "counter depth" fridge, built in, that really was 33" deep and stuck out from the cabinets like a brute because the spec sheet did not include the measurement with the door. Built in fridges don't have finished sides, get bolted to the cabinets and can take a front panel or not. Non built in fridges have finished sides and can be installed to look like built ins even when they are not. Older fridges were something like 63-68" tall and about 33" deep. Because counter depth fridges have less depth, they must be taller. My Viking is about 83" tall. Before buying, it's best to go see the various fridges and check the spec sheets so you know what's needed. Some require clearance on the side for the door swing and others do not. In addition to the spec sheets, I'd take a look at the design guide, too....See MoreCounter Depth Fridge vs Standard Depth
Comments (22)I just bought and installed the KitchenAid counter depth french door fridge. Not the supersized one. I chose it for a couple of reasons bur primarily because it was one of the few I could get without a water dispenser in the front door (though there is a discreet one inside the fridge). I hated the fact that the counter depth added about a $1000 to the price tag and worried that I would not feel the aesthetic advantage justified that price difference once I got it since I was trying to be very frugal in my purchases. I was so wrong. I am crazy about this fridge. The bottom freezer holds everything my old full depth freezer did except I can see it all so easy in the lighted space with 3 slide out layers. I can see everything I have when I open the french doors. Nothing hard to get at. Nothing out of sight. The door shelves hold tons of stuff too. I like that the sides are gray....not black...so if some of the side had to show it would blend fairly well with the stainless. Mine will not show as there will be a full panel of cabinet wood covering both sides (cabinets arrive in 2 wks). I'm having an open shelf/cubby above it to hold cookbooks. Buy this unit with confidence....See MoreWill this "true counter depth" Liebherr fridge fit?
Comments (7)DamaskDi -- I owned a 30" Liebherr refrigerator with bottom freezer that was enclosed in a partition against a wall. The space had less clearance on one side than your space. The fridge has 0 clearance doors and opened against the wall. However, to be absolutely sure you want to check the specification sheet for the refrigerator. That will give you accurate information -- the information you need, not inaccurate speculation. I've linked the Design Guide below. Look for the model number. The fridge depth is 24-1/4. For semi-built in it will need some clearance at the top for ventilation -- they will tell you how much to leave but as I recall it is a minimum of 2 or 3 inches. If you have any doubts, call the company and ask. In any event I would call and ask them about installing a refrigerator next to ovens (usually not recommended but often seen) and be sure it is done properly. Check the location needed for the plug and the ice maker as well. There is a note about door clearance which will be needed to open the crispers inside. The doors have a 145 degree swing. Do yourself a favor and use the spec sheet -- there are other design guides as well. I would always call the company to verify those and be sure nothing has changed. Here is a link that might be useful: Liebherr Design Guide...See More24''deep counters meet 30'' deep 'counter-depth' fridge...
Comments (9)Sincere thanks to everyone who posted threads and pics to help the spatially challenged! Sombreuil and Cawfeegirl, your kitchens are beautiful! The wall into which our fridge would have to be recessed is on the exterior of the house, and we live in a pretty cold climate, so the whole concept may be a non-starter. We may have to make the style of handle a bigger issue than something like that should ever be, just trying not to protrude any further than necessary. Either that, or it's back to the drawing board to reconfigure the design yet again!...See More3katz4me
