Retro or built-in?
The 50s Retro Style models are freestanding and meant to be seen, with rounded doors and bright colors. The built-in models are panel ready and sit flush in the cabinetry. If you want the refrigerator to stand out, choose a retro model. If you want it to disappear, choose a built-in model.
Column or bottom-mount?
A bottom-mount refrigerator keeps fresh and frozen food in one cabinet. A column refrigerator is all refrigerator, so you pair it with a separate freezer column if you need one. The RSDU30R column lists 17.45 cu. ft. of refrigerator capacity.
What to check before you order
Check the installation details on the product page, especially for built-in models.
- The exact cutout or space width, height and depth.
- Hinge side and door swing.
- Custom panels and handles for panel-ready models.
- A water line if you want the ice maker to run.
