Which layout fits your kitchen?
French door models put fresh food at eye level with a freezer drawer below. Side-by-side models split the fridge and freezer down the middle, and each door needs less swing room. Bottom freezer and top freezer models use a single fresh-food door. See our guides to side-by-side refrigerators and bottom freezer refrigerators for more.
Standard depth or counter-depth?
The WRSC5536RZ is counter-depth at 29 3/4" deep, so it sits closer to the cabinet line but holds less. The other five models in this guide are deeper and stand out further past the counters. Our counter-depth refrigerator guide explains the trade-off.
What to measure first
Measure carefully before you order, since a refrigerator that does not fit the opening or the path in is a hard problem to fix. Our guide on how to measure for a refrigerator walks through each step.
- Width, height and depth of the opening, plus air space on the sides and top.
- Door swing room, especially for single-door and French door models.
- A water line if you want a dispenser or ice maker.
- Doorways, hallways and turns on the delivery path.
