A counter-depth refrigerator is usually about 24 to 30 inches deep , not including handles, with many models clustering around 24 to 25 inches so they sit nearly flush with standard kitchen counters. Standard-depth refrigerators are typically deeper, often 30 to 36 inches.

Quick scoop

If you’re measuring for one, the fridge box depth is often close to the counter depth, but the total depth with doors and handles is usually a bit more, and can still be under 30 inches on many models.

In plain terms

  • Counter-depth fridge depth: about 24–30 inches.
  • Typical target depth: about 24–25 inches to align with counters.
  • Standard-depth fridge depth: about 30–36 inches.
