I have checked the width and depth in our kitchen and this works. However, I have a shallow cabinet (16" from wall) that is exactly 69" from the floor. The specs state <69" for back of fridge, so will this work?

It will not fit. I had the same 69 inch clearance. I needed EXCESSIVE sanding of my cabinet to get the fridge in place and it still is too tight a fit. Unfortunately, the manufacturer now "blows in" the insulation which causes the unit to "bow" in uneven ways at the top and a bit on the sides of the unit. The top is not flat, and the uneven bows mean the fridge, unlike the specs online, is more like 69.25" or greater in some places. If you have a tight fit, choose another approach. If you can raise your cabinet easily, and without destroying the looks of your kitchen, that is an option too. The fridge looks great and seems to be working fine, but this is a problem.
