Default How much height required for a new refrigerator????
My DW is looking at a new fridge. Plenty of room on the width and depth, no problem.
However, the space is 69" high and the one she likes is 68-7/8".

I'm telling her that we cannot fit the fridge with only 1/8" clearance and no, I'm not cutting the cabinetry, so she's unhappy with me - again!

I know I'm old school, I know that. Has technology changed enough where plenty of side ventilation is enough? I know the grill is underneath now and not on the back, and maybe the airflow on the sides is enough.

Thoughts? Thanks.
