When choosing a new refrigerator, start by knowing the dimensions you need. The dimensions should be dictated by the space available in the kitchen as well as by the measurements of the doorways you will need to carry the fridge through to get it there.

In terms of depth, decide whether you want a deep compartment or the flush look and additional floor space provided by a counter-depth fridge. If you are wondering what a counter-depth fridge is, it’s simply a refrigerator that is only as deep as the average counter depth. A French door counter depth fridge can make it easier to find items inside because they are all closer to the front.

In terms of additional features to consider, an ice maker and water filter are among the most popular choices. Fortunately, there are many French door fridges with ice makers and water filters, so you won’t have any trouble finding one.

While you can install your new refrigerator yourself, you can also reach out to Best Buy’s appliance delivery and installation service team to set up an appointment for a swift and thorough job. If you chose a French door fridge with an ice maker or water filter, you will also need to connect to your water line, which may require a waterline installation kit.

Once you have chosen the best French door fridge, make the most of its abilities by choosing the best temperature for keeping food fresh. If you have chosen a four-door French door refrigerator, you will have even more temperature and humidity zones to set for specific foods.

When it comes to long-term care for your refrigerator, you will want to follow all maintenance recommendations for your fridge, including software updates for a French door smart fridge. Make sure you find time for regular surface cleanings as well, which will help prevent the buildup of dirt and grime that could affect your fridge's appearance and functionality.
