The salesperson stated the appliance I was hoping for would fit in the space I quoted. The fridge was delivered. The delivery man left the fridge out of the hole without checking to see if it fit before he left, but he did have a measuring tape. That was confirmed when he measured the hallway door the fridge would have to go through. It didn't fit...the difference was 3/8".
After reading the manual, it states the fridge 'should' have another 2.5" of space. Now the appliance was out 2.5"+3/8" = 2 7/8" of clearance! Now I have to modify my home to work.
I spoke to the salesmen the next day and he didn't understand. He should have steered me towards a smaller fridge. I spoke to the manager and she stood by her employee and would not meet us halfway. It was a very disappointing experience.
