The B30IB100SP is a Benchmark built-in column: 29 3/4 inches wide, 24 inches deep, 83 9/16 inches tall, panel-ready and 16.5 cubic feet inside. Built-in columns are a different proposition from freestanding refrigerators in one crucial respect – they vent through a grille at the top rather than out of the back, so the cabinetry above them has to leave a clear air path. A joiner who trims that grille opening for a neater line has given the refrigerator a slow death sentence, and it is the first thing we check on a built-in that runs warm.
