    I can only imagine how hard that job must’ve been. Since you have all the trim off can you give me an exact measurement of wall-to-wall space that you had to fit that refrigerator down.

    Yes. You can see in the photo with the old fridge coming out there there really wasn't any room to spare. That fridge is 24.5" deep and 36" wide.

    I had to take my top stair apart as well, and cut a bunch of trim. My AC panel isn't on that side fortunately. It still was a lot of trouble.

    If you had cut up the old fridge, would the new one have fit without the the cutting of the stairs and cabinet trim?

    Great question Sky, my plan when I’m ready is to cut mine up with a reciprocating saw and about 4 to 6 pieces.

    That's what I did. Three pieces and it came out easily.

    You saw the way I cut it..... And if you remove the frame from the bottom first with the compressor on it that comes out as one piece and takes a lot of the weight with it in a small package.

    Plan on cutting a freon line, throwing a towel on it so the oil doesn't fly everywhere and leaving the building for a few.

    Yes, I know.....illegal. If you want to do it right have an HVAC tech come and evacuate the system. Or buy a pump and reservoir. (About as much as a new fridge).
