Side by Side Refrigerators for Sale in Madison and Janesville, Wisconsin
A side by side refrigerator splits the fresh food and freezer sections into two full-length vertical compartments sitting next to each other. The layout puts both fresh food and frozen items at eye level, making everything easy to see and access without bending or reaching. It's a popular configuration for kitchens where freezer access matters as much as refrigerator access, and the narrower door swing makes it a practical choice for tighter kitchen layouts.
Brothers Main carries a broad selection of models at our showrooms in Madison and Janesville, Wisconsin, including counter-depth side by side refrigerators, options with ice and water dispensers, and finishes from stainless steel through black stainless.

Frequently Asked Questions: Side by Side Refrigerators
Are side by side refrigerators better than other styles?
Side by side refrigerators work well for households that want equal access to both fresh food and frozen items without bending or reaching. The narrower door swing also makes them a practical choice for tighter kitchens. The tradeoff is that the freezer section tends to be narrower than other styles, which can make storing larger frozen items more difficult. The right choice comes down to how your household uses the fridge day to day.
What is the best side by side refrigerator?
At Brothers Main, GE and Whirlpool are among our most popular side by side options, covering a broad range of configurations from everyday performance through smart home integration. LG brings strong technology and design to the category with well-regarded models across multiple price points. Visit any of our showrooms in East Madison, West Madison, or Janesville, and our team can walk you through the full selection.
What are the dimensions of a counter-depth side by side refrigerator?
Counter-depth side by side refrigerators are typically 24 to 25 inches deep, compared to 30 to 35 inches for standard depth models. Width generally ranges from 33 to 36 inches, and height typically falls between 68 and 70 inches, allowing the unit to sit flush with standard cabinetry.
Do side by side refrigerators come with ice makers?
Most do. A side by side refrigerator with ice maker is one of the most common configurations available, with the ice maker typically located in the freezer section. Many models also feature an indoor ice and water dispenser on the exterior. Brothers Main also carries side by side refrigerators without ice makers for households that prefer a simpler setup. Our team can point you to the right options at any of our Wisconsin showrooms.
What is the standard width of a side by side refrigerator?
The standard side by side fridge width is 36 inches, which offers the most storage capacity and fits most full-size kitchen openings. Thirty-three-inch models are also widely available for slightly tighter spaces. Measuring your kitchen opening carefully before you shop is the most reliable way to avoid sizing issues.
