You could "kind of" mock it up with some aluminum foil to see what it would look like.  Dull side out (to more closely simulate the brushed stainless exterior.
Good idea!  If we have to change it out, I'll do that, if for no other reason than to prepare myself for the change.

you lose the 2 pull-outs below the fridge, and it's a more expensive retrofit if that happens to be the space for Intellitec lighting and not just pullouts).
Another reason not to do this.  The coats/jackets already don't have a home.  Losing the pullouts below the frig would leave my electric skillet, rice cooker, laundry supplies, and a couple of other things "homeless".  Not sure if there's Intellic lighting there in addition to the pullouts???

if it's a wall with the pocket door look at atom6's 32" Samsung fridge retrofit instead Residential fridge ).
Ok, I give up.  Why does this make a difference?  Yes, we have a mirrored wall with the pocket door next to the frig.

It would be obvious - your lighting would be controlled by little "chicklet" switches and the pullouts under the fridge would have all kinds of wiring in them.

If you have a wall next to the fridge, the way the 36" wide residential ones open you wouldn't be able to open the door wide enough to get the bins out because the door hits the wall.  Then you would likely prefer a 32" (so the doors could open far enough).  It would be biased away from the wall (you'd gain a narrow storage space between the fridge and the wall in this case).

Does that help?
