Side-by-Side Refrigerators

Explore AjMadison’s enormous collection of side-by-side refrigerators, each one designed to maximize your cold storage options and extend the longevity of every food type. Side-by-side refrigerators are split into two separate side-by-side compartments: one, the built-in refrigerator, for fresh food and the other, the freezer compartment, for frozen food. This design allows for full-height shelving that keeps your most used fresh and frozen food items at eye-level for ADA-friendly organization. Another perk of these units is the reduced door swing clearance which can still be equipped with a water dispenser. Our selection includes models with sizes to fit any cutout, from 33” slimline units for small apartments to 48” models with capacities over 30 cu. ft. for designer kitchens. There’s even a small selection of undercounter models with convertible zones for fresh or frozen food. We carry one of the largest, most affordable assortments of brands from budget to luxury, including GE, Fisher & Paykel, JennAir, KitchenAid, Monogram, Sub-Zero, and Whirlpool.

Our suite of side-by-side refrigerators covers a diverse range of installation options to accommodate any space or usage preference. Freestanding units with counter depth constructions fit subtly into cutouts for clean lines, even on a budget. For luxury kitchens, built-in refrigerators bring high-end features, low-maintenance designs, cold-retaining stainless steel interiors, and quiet, ENERGY STAR certified performance to the table. Thanks to handless designs with push-to-open doors, they can even disappear behind panel-ready finishes for seamless integration!

Consumers rely on their freezers for safe, long-term storage of food items and quick access to clean ice for drinks. That’s why our selection of side-by-side fridges comes with numerous advanced freezing features to ensure both. If manual defrosting is a chore you tend to neglect, we have plenty of fridges with cycle defrost, automatic defrost, and frost-free designs which virtually eliminates this tedious maintenance task! That way, you only need to reach into your freezer for frozen treats or to grab some cubes from your high-capacity ice maker.

Wi-Fi connected side-by-side refrigerators are the perfect pairing for multi-taskers. Smartphone applications from each brand provide a whole host of remote features that let you run diagnostics, see inside your fridge, receive door open alarm notifications, adjust temperatures, and even reorder accessories like water filters. You can even connect smart refrigerators to smart home managers like Google Home or Amazon Alexa for hands-free operation. Samsung’s Family Hub+ refrigeration suite takes fridge connectivity to new heights. From the integrated touch screen, you can do more than adjust fridge settings – you can send texts, make chore lists, stream videos, or even check your doorbell camera!

Side-by-side refrigerators come in a wide variety of fingerprint resistant exterior finishes to suit any kitchen style, including stainless steel, black stainless steel, slate, and other high-end options.

What is the life expectancy of a side-by-side refrigerator?

With proper care and maintenance, some of the best side-by-side refrigerators can operate efficiently for as long as 15 years. Make sure to regularly dust its condenser coils, defrost it, and ensure proper airflow within each cavity. Many of these tasks are made easier or outright eliminated in high-end models. For instance, built-in models have more accessible coils located on their fronts, and no-frost operation on some fridges prevent frost formation entirely.

What is the difference between side-by-side and French door refrigerators?

Side-by-side fridges have full height fresh and frozen food compartments, whereas French door models have the fresh food section on top and a pull-out freezer drawer on the bottom. Both side-by-side and French door refrigerators keep your most used fresh food items at eye level. However, French door fridges have deeper, more spacious freezers compared to the narrow vertical ones of side-by-side fridges, making them better for storage of bulky frozen items.

What are the disadvantages of a side-by-side refrigerator?

Their side-by-side designs sacrifice half the width of each shelf, meaning wide items are hard to fit inside them. Since cold air sinks, their full height cavities also must work harder to maintain consistent temperatures throughout.

How can you tell if your refrigerator is going bad?

Some of the most common signs of fridge failure include inconsistent or fluctuating temperatures, excessive or strange noises, too frequent cycling, slow cooling, frost or moisture build-up, and puddle formation around the outside.
