Standard depth or counter-depth?
Standard-depth models give you more space but stand out from the cabinets. The RS27T5200SR and RS27T5561SR are 33 1/2" deep with 27.4 and 26.7 cu. ft.
Counter-depth models sit closer to the cabinet line. The RS22T5201SR is 25 5/8" deep and the RS23CB7600QL is 28 7/8" deep. For more on the trade-off, see our counter-depth refrigerator guide.
Dispenser or Beverage Center?
A door dispenser gives you water and ice without opening the refrigerator. The RS27T5200SR, RS27T5561SR and RS22T5201SR all have one. The RS23CB7600QL has a Beverage Center inside the door with an AutoFill water pitcher, which keeps the outside of the door clean.
What to measure first
Each side of a side-by-side has its own full-height door, and both need room to open fully. Check the whole space before you order, and use the door clearance in the installation guide for the model you choose.
- Opening width, height and depth.
- Clearance for the doors to open past the cabinets.
- A water line for the ice maker and dispenser.
- Doorways and turns on the delivery path.
