space, the internal cooling system may not work
properly.
First thing! Make sure that you can easily move your
refrigeratortoitsnallocationbymeasuringdoorways
(both width and height), thresholds, ceilings,
stairways, etc.
The following chart details the exact height and depth
of your new Kenmore refrigerator.
