1. How much clearance on the left is needed to open the freezer door?
2. I see that the unit requires 1/2" for ventilation. Is it okay if a small area on one side (the edge of the counter top) is closer? null

You need 3" less than the width of the door to open it fully. You are OK for ventilation.

Hi Torilk, the WRS321SDHZ, will need a minimum of 2" between the Refrigerator and a wall on side to open the doors. The 1/2" is very important as the sealed system needs unrestricted airflow to keep the system working properly and maximize service life.
