Hello chip,

Thank you for reaching out and raising your question about the Samsung - 25.5 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator with Internal Water Dispenser - Stainless steel. I understand you want to know how much clearance is required beyond or over the height of the refrigerator to have proper air circulation. We are here to help.

To answer your question, All Samsung refrigerators require a minimum clearance of 2 inches (or 5 cm) behind the unit. When it comes to clearance around the fridge, we recommend half an inch (or 1,27 cm) but more clearance is better than less. If air does not circulate enough, the condenser will overheat, and the refrigerator will not cool properly.
