How big are Samsung refrigerators?

Freestanding Samsung refrigerators are 28¾–35⅞ in wide and 66⅞–73 in tall to the top of the hinges (101 models; the smallest and largest 5% are left out). Why hinge height matters →

Gaps Samsung usually asks for: about ⅜ in each side and ⅜ in above, plus 2 in behind. Check the exact model: some ask for more.

Example: the Samsung RT16A6195SRAA is a 28-inch-class top freezer, but needs an opening at least 31⅞ in wide.

How Samsung refrigerators compare

ExactFit has reviewed 101 Samsung refrigerators against the manufacturer's own dimension guides, installation instructions and spec sheets. Within one brand the measurements still vary by exact model: two Samsung 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 29 1/2 in for the Samsung RT18DG6700SRAA to 36 5/8 in for the Samsung RS27T5561SRAA, with half needing 36 1/2 in or less. The cabinet-only depth runs from 24 in (Samsung RF23BB860012AA) to 30 5/8 in (Samsung RF22A4221SRAA). The depth with the doors closed, handles included runs from 28 1/8 in (Samsung RF18A5101SGAA) to 36 1/4 in (Samsung RF32CG5D00SRAA). The height including the hinges runs from 66 3/4 in (Samsung RF22A4221SRAA) to 73 in (Samsung RM80F23VMRAA). With a door open at 90 degrees, 101 of these models have a verified depth; the typical one needs 48 1/4 in from the back wall, and the deepest, the Samsung RT21M6215SRAA, needs 64 3/4 in. 100 models have a verified hinge-side wall clearance for the door to open 90 degrees: from 1/8 in to 4 1/4 in, typically 3 3/4 in.
