Side-by-side or top-freezer?

Side-by-side models have two narrow doors that need less swing room, plus a door dispenser and more capacity. Top-freezer models are simpler, come in narrower widths and suit apartments, rentals and garages. Read our guide to side-by-side refrigerators to learn more about that layout.

Counter depth or full depth?

The LRSXC2306S is counter-depth at 28 7/8" deep, so it sits closer to the front of your cabinets. The LRSOS2706S and LS27T3230S are deeper and hold more. Compare the two styles in our guide to counter-depth refrigerators.

What InstaView and Craft Ice mean

InstaView is a glass door panel that lets you see inside without opening the door. Craft Ice makes slow-melting round ice. Both are listed on the LRSOS2706S.

What to check before you order

Measure your space and check the installation details on each product page.

  • Width, height and depth of the opening, plus door swing.
  • A water line for models with a dispenser or ice maker.
  • Door and hallway widths on the delivery path.
  • Space at the top and back for air flow.
