Pre-fire, I got cabinet above fridge taken out because fridges have basically gotten taller.
And the over-the-range microwave is what caused the fire in the middle of the night in the first place while I was sleeping.
Dishwashers are pretty standard as are stovetop widths although I decided to shift to a range from my prior double ovens and cooktop.

- ghaff 10mo agoNo idea. There was apparently a control panel short circuit of some sort.

You're right that refrigerator heights aren't standardized but you must have had a really short space if nothing at all would fit. Installations are typically supposed to leave some additional clearance for the heat to escape from behind, although some builders will try to tightly integrate them for a different look. (High end and commercial refrigerators are designed to actively exhaust and don't have the same limitations)
- ghaff 9mo ago"Something" would have fitted but it would have been a big volume downgrade. In any case, fire happened and all the cabinetry and appliances came out anyway. So things worked out. Had a bit of margin but not enough to accommodate a current French Door fridge. (Suspect changes in energy regs would have made what I had difficult to accommodate.)
