Nice but be aware

We are definitely liking the 25 cu. ft. French door but there are some items to be aware of for the installation.
The refrigerator may not fit through a 32" door even with the doors removed. That is because the rails for the drawer extend about 2" even with the drawer front removed. We had to remove the rails which is not covered in the owner's manual.
Unlike the refrigerators we have had in the past, this one has the air inlet and outlet for the cooling system on the back of the refrigerator. It cannot be pushed against a wall and needs at least 2" of clearance at the back. Since we need to have the refrigerator pushed all the way back in our kitchen, we had cut holes in the wall and install air grills into the adjacent room. That might not be possible for other installations. Don't let the installation people just shove it up against a wall or you will probably have poor cooling and high operating cost.
The owner's manual has very small pictures and appears to have some errors. The manual says the rails can be separated to remove the freezer door but we couldn't find the release shown in the manual and had to unbolt the door to remove it.
We think this is going to be a great refrigerator but be sure you can take care of the air inlet and outlet locations in your installation.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Kitchen Door Clearance - 24.7 Cu. Ft. French Door Refrigerator
Model RF25HMEDBSR
Depth w/o doors, hinges, etc is listed as 30 inches. Can fridge go through 31 inch kitchen door opening?

Maybe if you have plenty of wiggle room on both sides of the 31" door. When the front of the drawer is removed, the rails still extend about 2" so the width is 32". We had to remove the rails to get it through our 31.5" door. The rails aren't hard to remove. Just two screws and an electrical plug. They are a little difficult to reinstall. The manual does not cover removing and replacing the rails.
The manual says that the freezer rails can be separated but we couldn't locate the release they showed in the manual. We had to unbolt the door and the rails extend about 1". The width was just about 31" with the drawer rails removed and the freezer door unbolted from their rails.
