The manual I have shows that the door can be switched to open either way... but it looks really complicated, they have the unit lying completely flat on the ground, on it's back, to do the change over. This thing is deeper than 29", we just barely made it through my front door (I had to take the house door off it's hinges). The delivery guys were great and waited patiently while I took care of things. The fridge/freezer door does not come off easily (see above), and there is a freon line that comes up the front, so even if the fridge door was removed you would not gain much room.
I just measured my unit and it is 30 and 1/4 inches front to back not counting the handle. The handle adds maybe 2 more inches.
