What is the Average width of a refrigerator?

Answer 1

According to a few refrigerator websites, the average width of a freezer-on-top or freezer-on-bottom refrigerator is 33 inches. They can range from 23 to 36 inches. Side-by-Side models are usually wider.

Answer 2

In the US, it's 2.5 x 2.5 ft or slightly under. This is a typical low budget refrigerator you'll find in a c average apartment. It has single main door for the fridge, and a smaller single door for the upper freezer. Cheap, nothing fancy. More expensive ones vary greatly in purpose, appearance and therefore dimensions, and tend to have an "art deco" appeal. However, dual-door refrigerators (2 long vertical doors) typically follow the same standard footprint of 2.5 sq ft, and hover in the middle price range, such as those equipped with a water dispenser on the front. Likewise, architectural drawings use the 2.5 sq ft to specify kitchen space for the ref on floor plans. The standard dish washing machine and stove use this footprint. Same goes for the washer and dryer, although a couple of extra inches are usually allocated for hoses and the vent tube in the back, plus an inch or so "wiggle room" on the sides. Concerning floor plan space, it even applies to water heaters and the ac fan (the loud blower inside your house) as well.

Generally (but not always):

• height - 55-69" (1400mm - 1750mm)
• width - 24-36" (610mm - 910mm)
• depth - 26-33" (660mm - 840mm)

You can find the dimensions of various refrigerators at their manufacturer's websites. Remember to look up the clearance necessary as well, to get an accurate measure of how much room you need for the specific fridge. There is a site, fridgesizes.com that does a lot of this leg work for you, and can be helpful if you need to find a fridge to fit in a specific dimension.

There are a wide range of refrigerator styles, and variation of dimensions within those styles. "Standard" can thus mean many different things. Also you need to be aware that the size of the fridge doesn't necessarily equate to the size of the opening in your cabinets either. You need to leave adequate clearance both for cooling purposes and to allow for clearance for the doors to open in some cases.

The posted ranges here are okay, but you will find that fridges over 70 inches are becoming more common. For instance, Whirlpool's new fridges are 70 inches tall, and need over 71 inches to allow for clearances. Sub-zero's lineup is significantly taller than that.

Given the wide range of fridge sizes, when possible, it is advisable that you pick out the fridge you want, and use its specific dimensions for planning purposes. There's just too much variation otherwise.
