I looked around at some fridges with my 1st home buyer tax credit and even with picking the smallest fridge that still had the water and ice dispenser on the outside it still took a little to get it in. I had to take one of the doors half way off o get in through the front door. Then it was a very tight squeeze to get the fridge in place and I should have had 1 inch clearance, but I didn't. Then I noticed it was a tight squeeze and I lost that 1 inch because of the base board at the bottom on the wall. So I pulled the fridge out, which wasn't a easy task, and removed the base board and cut a little of the counter top off, just a little, and now it can go in and out easily. Then after pushing it back in I noticed that the fridge covered up the outlet on the side of the wall. So I had my Aunt's handyman come over and instead one plug for the fridge and also add a plug for the microwave and toaster oven. As he looked at the plugs he could tell how the kitchen layout use to before the previous owners redid the kitchen, but now it is all good.
Got my tools out to do some cutting to fix the tight area. I was more worry about someone dropping something behind the fridge and then having to try and pull it out to get the object or if the fridge needed repairs it would be easier
Since the old plugged was covered up I had to use my extension cord to power the fridge until I could get the new outlet in.
Fridge back in place and with new outlet.
I was able to actually have enough room for the toaster oven to be over the microwave which has really helped to clear up room. This picture is before I got the new outlet behind them, so you don't see any cords now.
