FAQs

• French Door models feature a two door refrigerator on top and the freezer on the bottom. The lower freezer is often accessed as a pull-out basket. Many French door models also offer filtered ice and water dispensers in the door.
• Side-by-Side models feature two doors; the freezer is on the left and the refrigerator is on the right. The simple design and makes it easy to organize and find items. Often they have ice and water dispensers in the door, and they work well when you don’t have a lot of space for the door to swing open.
• Top Freezer: Models with the freezer on top are good for smaller kitchens, offering roomy storage on wide shelves and a lower cost of operation. The direction the door opens can often be reversed to meet your specific needs.

In selecting the style for your refrigerator, you should also consider its depth and the degree of customization you would like:

• Built-In refrigerators are the most customized, and therefore the most expensive. Their doors are counter depth and can be produced with a stainless front or with cabinet fronts to blend with the rest of your kitchen’s look.
• Standard-Depth refrigerators are the most popular and least expensive models, but they may be 4 inches (or more) deeper than your cabinet and countertop, extending further into your kitchen space than your counter does.
• Counter-Depth refrigerators offer a built-in look. The refrigerator’s cabinet is as deep as your countertop, so the edge of the refrigerator is flush with your countertop. Only the doors and handles extend into your kitchen space.
