Thin Fridge and Gas Stove ? (26" or less)

[ErikColeman]

I have a unique problem. The door and stairways leading down to my basement are only 26" wide. I'm hoping to fit a upright fridge/freezer and gas stove down there to add a second kitchen area to the house.

Does anyone know if any companies manufacture stoves or fridges thin enough to fit down the opening?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can always go 24" gas range and have seen some refrigerators that are exactly 26" wide and a few smaller.

This place can help with both....

Most do for apartments or campers. You may or may not have to special order them. Here is an example.

Hi, Erik.

Another option I've had to use in the past is to remove door(s) and pull doorway trim, to accomodate furniture, etc. Can gain you a couple of inches. Not so unique a situation, especially with older buildings.

Litton makes several models of 24" gas and electric ranges. So does Brown Stove Works/Five-Star. I believe Sears can order the Litton ranges and may also have Kenmore versions.

Thanks for all the responses. I'm going to see if I can't sqeeze a couple extra inches by removing the door frame. After doing some more digging though I found quite a few models that will work with the existing dimensions.

Taking the doors off the appliance as well as the house helps, too.
