Compiled by Radif Partners · How the figures are built

The 30 inch wide refrigerator is the second largest width class on the list: 611 full-size certified models from 89 brands are wider than 29 and up to 30.5 inches, 23% of all full-size models on the ENERGY STAR list of November 12, 2026. Height is the real filter. 81 of them stand 66 inches or less, 364 at most 67 inches and 366 at most 68 inches; the median is 66.60 in. Capacity runs from 12.8 to 22.1 cubic feet, median 18.1. The class is split between top-freezer models (269) and bottom-freezer ones (288), and the split shows in energy use. The median top-freezer model uses 370 kWh a year and the median bottom-freezer model 512. At the U.S. average price of August 2026, that is $67 against $93 a year.

30 inch wide refrigerator heights, counted

With so many models in this width, the useful question is not whether a 30 inch refrigerator exists but how many fit under your cabinet. The table counts the certified models at each height limit. Pick the line that matches the clearance you measured, then use the tool above for the exact figure and the list of the largest models that fit.

Full-size certified models wider than 29 and up to 30.5 inches, list of November 12, 2026.

Each inch of height you can free adds models and capacity. If the cabinet above the opening can be removed or raised, measure the new clearance before you shop; the count can double.

Top freezer or bottom freezer at 30 inches

The two layouts share the class almost evenly, but they do not cost the same to run. A top-freezer refrigerator is the most frugal layout on the list. A bottom-freezer model, French door models included, puts the fresh food at eye level and the freezer in a drawer; it usually adds an ice maker and a few inches of height. The tool's style menu filters either one.

Built-in and panel-ready 30 inch models

110 models of this width are built-in, meant to sit flush in cabinetry. They need the exact cutout the maker prints, often taller than a freestanding opening, and are not interchangeable with freestanding units of the same width. If you are replacing a built-in model, measure the cutout, not the old refrigerator, and compare with the maker's sheet.

What it costs to run where you live

A median 30 inch model at 448 kWh a year costs $81 a year at the U.S. average price, $110 in Connecticut and $66 in Oklahoma, with the prices of August 2026. For more room, the 33 inch class holds a median 20.5 cubic feet; for a shallow fit, see the counter-depth models.

Questions buyers ask

Tap a question to see the answer.

Will a 30 inch refrigerator fit in a 30 inch opening?

Usually, because most models of this class measure a little under 30 inches; 294 of the 611 certified models are wider than 29.75 inches. Leave the side gap the installation guide asks for, and check the door swing if one side is against a wall. Enter that gap in the tool's optional field to see the count change.

What is the typical height of a 30 inch wide refrigerator?

The median certified model is 66.60 in tall. Heights run from 64.90 in to 85 in. Top-freezer models are usually lower than bottom-freezer ones, so a low cabinet above the opening often points to a top-freezer model. Measure the opening before choosing a style.

Top freezer or bottom freezer: which costs less to run?

On the list, top freezer. The median certified top-freezer model of this width uses 370 kWh a year, the median bottom-freezer model 512. The gap is worth $26 a year at the U.S. average price, more in a state with costly power.
