“What is the minimum width needed to ensure each door can open to 90 degrees? I’ll soon be moving into a home that was built in 1956. The current spatial dimensions of our refrigerator space are as follows: 31”D x 69-1/2”H x 32”W. The depth measurement actually varies – to the left is a wall with a depth measuring 36”; to the right is the dishwasher and counter with a depth of 31”. See photos for clarification. If we purchase this model, will we be able to open the doors to 90 degrees or are we too space constrained?”

The RF220NCTASR measures 29-3/4" wide with a case depth of 30-1/2". Samsung recommends leaving at least 1" on each side and 2" in the rear for air circulation and to allow the door hinges to swing open. It appears that the handles on both the right and left sides will be able to clear the neighboring walls in your kitchen without a problem allowing the doors to open 90-degrees. Keep in mind that you may need to pull the refrigerator out a few inches or remove door bins when you wish to remove the crisper drawers completely (such as for cleaning), since the doors will need to be opened more than 90-degrees on those occasions. We appreciate your consideration! Ms. Samsung
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.As long as you have 4 inches between the fridge and the wall you are fine.
