Default Measurements when replacing refrigerator

Anyone have problems with measurements when replacing a
Side by side fridge in Lantana?
Thought pretty much standard size

Mine 68 Height vs 68.6
Now not certain it will slide in.

The cabinets are typically held in place with screws, into the walls and into the adjacent cabinet(s). The option I see would be to empty the cabinet over the refrigerator, remove the screws and then the cabinet. With any luck you may be able to have the cabinet trimmed to fit. You might also be able to have the cabinet trimmed in place, but this will be difficult to get a nice finish along the bottom edge, IMHO. I would plan on taking the cabinet out.

Also, take a look at the top of the new refrigerator, you may find hinges protruding at the top that could interfere with the cabinet doors.
Good luck with your project.
