Hi there,
We appreciate your question regarding the needed measurements for the fridge.
To ensure the refrigerator door doesn't hit your counter when opened, it's important to consider the depth of the refrigerator and the clearance needed for the door to swing open fully. The depth of the refrigerator without handles is 28¾ inches, and the depth with the door open at 90 degrees is 43 inches.
To further assist you with the unit's exact measurement from the top of the fridge to the bottom of the door, excluding the freezer, we highly recommend contacting us via the following options:
