Sorry about the fire > I got cabinet above fridge taken out because fridges have basically gotten taller. 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)
