Gaps Kenmore usually asks for: about 3 in each side and 3 in above, plus 3 in behind. Check the exact model: some ask for more.

Example: the Kenmore 46-51805 is a 36-inch-class side-by-side, but needs an opening at least 44 in wide.

How Kenmore refrigerators compare

ExactFit has reviewed 20 Kenmore refrigerators against the manufacturer's own dimension guides, installation instructions and spec sheets. Within one brand the measurements still vary by exact model: two Kenmore refrigerators sold in the same nominal size can need different openings, different side and rear gaps, and different room for the doors to open. Use the figures below to see how wide that spread is, then check the exact model you are considering.

What the verified measurements show

The opening width they need ranges from 35 1/2 in for the Kenmore 46-62312 to 44 in for the Kenmore 46-51805, with half needing 36 1/8 in or less. The cabinet-only depth runs from 24 in (Kenmore 46-51805) to 28 3/8 in (Kenmore 46-61359). The depth with the doors closed, handles included runs from 30 1/8 in (Kenmore 46-61342) to 31 3/4 in (Kenmore 46-75525). The height including the hinges runs from 66 1/8 in (Kenmore 46-61342) to 70 in (Kenmore 46-75525). With a door open at 90 degrees, 20 of these models have a verified depth; the typical one needs 61 1/4 in from the back wall, and the deepest, the Kenmore 46-71339, needs 65 7/16 in. 20 models have a verified hinge-side wall clearance for the door to open 90 degrees: from 11/16 in to 3 3/16 in, typically 3 in.
