It depends on the size of the Frig you wish to purchase. My model is 28 cu.ft. and the main section of the Frig is 29" deep so it extends beyond the countertop (25.5"). This is a 2" space between the back of the Frig and the wall (Base Molding and Cords and Water Line.

I suggest you go to the web site and get these measurements for the model you wish to purchase and check the size of the opening when you want it to go.

For my model, the door needs to open about 120 degrees to pull out the drawers
