Answer

The best way is to choose a fridge with cabinet width under thirty-five point nine inches and zero-clearance hinges. Measure your opening precisely, allow one to two inches behind for ventilation, and a quarter to half inch on top. Using painter’s tape to mock the fit and door swing helps prevent surprises. If needed, pull the fridge two to three inches forward for door clearance and smooth drawer operation.
