Does the door need extra space when opening if I installed it adjacent to a wall? (I just need it to open 90 degrees) null

Question

On another "department store website" Q&A, the answer is that it does fit. The 2 1/2" space given in the manual is a standard description for many refrigerator make and models.

Hi Clinton. When installing your refrigerator next to a fixed wall, leave 2¹⁄₂" (6.3 cm) minimum on the hinge side (some models require more) to allow for the door to swing open. Hopefully this information is beneficial to you. Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Maytag appliances!
