Can't find a fridge that fits........Please help! (Home Depot, pool, Lowes)

[Thinking-man]

hi,
we have a 5 year old fridgadier fridge that basically quit on us today. we've been having issues with it for over a year now.....but today, the temp inside is 60 and 70 for the freezer and the fridge respectively. it's terrible!
Anyway, we have limited space to work with....and i haven't been able to find the right size fridge....the current one is 32W x 32D x 68H

any ideas as to where i can find a fridge that fits? I've tried Home Depot, Lowes, Bestbuy, Costco.

no luck!

ps. the dimensions can vary by 2 inches for the W and the Depth and as much as 10 inches on the height.

This Kenmore seems to be just about right. It comes in stainless, too.

There are plenty of top freezer options.

You can pick up a simple Frigidaire stainless model from BB or Lowes for under $750 that fits your dimensions. Look on their respective websites.

Some of them even come with $100-150 energy rebates (depending on where you live.)

Note: When we were shopping (this past weekend), most stores didn't have these models on display, but were available to order for delivery.

When ours died, I found one that fits at a local - NOT a chain - store.

When we did a mini-remodel on the kitchen three or so years ago, I ripped out three cabinets and got smaller ones, resulting in a bigger hole for a bigger fridge.
One of the best decisions ever made for our home...

With what dimensions are you most concerned?

[wireyourworld]

The question is, what size is the space? Then you need to find a fridge that gives a certain amount of clearance on the top, the newer ones do not need much space if any as they are designed to fit flushish.

We had the same problem with our old frigidaire. Most new fridges that fit were smaller on the inside then the old one. We finally found a whirlpool gold that slid in, but we had to remove the upper cabinets and now have a crappy looking back wall there until we get around to fixing it.

Fun fact.
25% of all kitchen remodels start because of a broken appliance.
