Thank you

1) There are two heights you must consider. Case height (The case is the steel shell) and hinge height.
If you have a cabinet above and it is less than ~20″ deep you really only have to worry about case height.
If you have the full depth cabinets about 24″+ you have to worry about the hinges in the front.
2) There are 4 basic widths (of the space you have not your refrigerator) 28″, 30″, 33″, 36″. Note a 35-1/2″wide and a 35-3/4″ wide are both meant for the same 36″ wide space.
3) Top freezers over 33″ W are rare as heck. The only one I know of is a (very expensive for a top freezer) GE Profile.
4) Extinct Sizes (by no means complete)
There used to be a case about 36″w x 67″ tall. There are alot of houses built around this case no longer available size.
99% of 32″ wide are gone. (exception a few freezerless fridges and matching freezers that total out at 64″ wide)
34″ wide are gone.
5) “foreign” makes LG, Samsung, Bosch (GE’s built by Samsung). Watch out the doors swing out wide and can be a problem if against a wall on one side where the wall extends past where the door hinges.
5a) “domestic” makes, Whirlpool and Kindrid, GE etc have much less swing out on the hinges.

My sister needs a new refrigerator. It cannot be more than 64-1/2 inches high; 31 – 34 inches wide; and 30 to 35 inches in depth.

Can you help me find her a refrigerator?

Thanks!

I have a 15 year old GE Profile fridge, (Side by Side) I need a new shelf as the plastic is cracked and broken on one. The fridge has inside it the model number TPX24PRY/TPX24BRY. When we bought it we paid extra to get one that was not so deep. It is 36″ wide, 70″ Tall and, as best I can measure, about 27″ deep with the doors on.

Trying to get this shelf is proving a nightmare as GE is telling me it’s no longer available. There seem to be dozens of other companies out there that do have parts but their model numbers all have extra letters on the end. For example TPX24BRYAWW.

They all have diagrams, I can see the shelf, but how do I tell if it is the right size for my fridge? Because I know there was a deeper model and if I buy that shelf it won’t fit. All the customer service reps can’t seem to sort it out.

Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.

Any help

Yes it is difficult to shop for a fridge by dimensions. Usually, manufacturers and stores don’t consider exact dimensions as important informations for customers. Normally the just categorize their fridges into several categories, like 2-doors, 4-doors, mid-size, small-size, etc. This would leave the only option is to pick a random guess and then look at the technical detail sheet to see its dimensions. I know it’s not practical

And a bad news for you, today’s mid-size fridge have at least 68″ of height. It’s very difficult to find one below that number, unless you want to go for a fridge which is smaller in size and capacity.
