The worst time to figure out whether a fridge fits is when it’s already on the truck. If one of your appliances is acting up, take ten minutes to make a note on your phone before you shop.
First, snap a picture of the model and serial number. That gives you a quick way to find the right manual, look up parts, or ask a repair company about your exact unit. Next, measure the opening and the route to it. Include the tightest doorway, sharp turns, and room for the appliance door to swing. Compare those measurements with the installation instructions for the model you’re considering.
Finally, find the receipt and warranty. Check what’s covered before paying for a repair or ordering a replacement. Save all three items in a folder called “Home.” The next time something quits on a Sunday night, you’ll have a head start.
