Oh my lord! 😅 found your video because we are purchasing a new refrigerator and discovered this is going to be our issue as well. Thank goodness we thought of measuring our fit and the soon to be new refrigerator first before having it delivered. You definitely went to the extreme to make it work but after seeing everyone's process, I have decided to just remove the cabinets that are interfering with the successful installation. Yep, I'm choosing to just remove 2 cabinets and 1 full counter. This may be the most extreme but I figure, hey I will get new cabinets soon. 😅😂
Hi guys I'm laughing so much.. it should be on America funniest videos, with all ur funny commenting, I did the same thing I bought a fridge because it was on sale, lol.. it fits in the space but I dont think one side of the door will open because it will hit the wall..I'm scared to try,lol.. its sitting in the dining room for the last few days until I find someone that might help me lol...fantastic video, I just subscribed...from Florida lorra
Not necessarily a mistake. GE makes the most reliable refrigerators and they tend to be a wee bit taller than the less reliable brands. In the long run it’s simply better to make a one time adjustment to your cabinets than taking the easier route of getting a less reliable brand that might cause more headaches down the road just because it fits. Btw, right saw for the overhead cabinet but wrong blade. You need the blade that looks like a half moon also called a flush cut blade.
What’s up cousin! Lookin like a pro 💪🏻👩🏼🔧
We survived the project! Lots and lots of dust everywhere but she cleaned it up so beautifully!
My first thought, "Sorry mom" lol 😂.

Removing the cabinets would have been less work and mess, that's for sure! Thanks for watching
Timely video. My new refrigerator arrives this week and I will be doing the same cabinet trimming.
Good luck! Hope yours goes a little more smoothly...
O I gotta say.. that is a lot of dedication.
Nothing more demoralizing then the shredded sounds of a new belt..
Thank you, Evan! Spring break spent making dust... ah well
I would've gotten a slightly smaller refrigerator that fit the space.
That would have been easier for sure!

Thanks Lorra! Hope you get your fridge to fit with less effort than ours

Yes, we didn't want to be living with a refrigerator that was too small. It was more work than we expected to make it fit but still worthwhile
Would it not be easier with a sander or grinder
We used a belt sander, angle grinder, and circular saw. I wouldn't call any of it easy, hopefully we never need to do this again!
