Kitchen Appliance CAD Blocks

Refrigerator, dishwasher, range and cooktop - four kitchen appliance CAD blocks drawn at real cabinet dimensions, 24in for the dishwasher, 30in for the range, 36in for the fridge. Those numbers are the whole reason to use a block instead of a rectangle: a kitchen plan is a cabinet module problem. Free DXF downloads.

Kitchen - datum: back-center on wall line - default footprint 30in x 25in

30-inch Kitchen Range - plan view, 30in x 25in

The 30in freestanding or slide-in range is the residential default, and on plan it drives two things nothing else in the kitchen does: the hood or downdraft directly above it, and the clearance note at flanking combustible cabinets. Gas versus electric changes the utility shown behind the block, not its footprint.

Sizing

30in wide by 25in deep as drawn. 24in covers apartment and European units built to a 60cm module, and 36in the pro-style width, usually with a deeper body toward the 27in limit and a wider hood above it.

Drafting notes

Back-center on the wall line puts the insertion point on the burner centerline, which is the coordinate the hood and the reflected ceiling plan key to. Set the range first and center the hood on that same point rather than on the cabinet opening.

Drawn alongside

Coordinated with the exhaust hood on the reflected ceiling plan and set opposite the refrigerator and sink; drafters generally keep the dishwasher off the same cabinet run.

30-inch Cooktop

Residential Appliances - datum: back-center on wall line (alias of RANGE-30) - default footprint 30in x 25in

30-inch Cooktop - plan view CAD block
30-inch Cooktop - plan view, 30in x 25in

Cooktop and range footprint at the counter run. Kitchen designers use it to set the appliance opening in the cabinet elevation, and MEP drafters use it to locate the gas stub or the 240V range circuit behind it.

Sizing

Thirty inches is the dominant domestic range width. The 24-36in range covers an apartment range up to a pro-style 36in unit. Depth adjusts 24-27in, matching standard 24in base cabinets with the range body sitting slightly proud of the door face.

Drafting notes

Back-center on the wall line, and the record notes this block is an alias of RANGE-30 - drawings referencing either name resolve to the same geometry. Center it to the hood above rather than to the cabinet run, since the two must align.

Drawn alongside

Drawn with the exhaust hood directly above it and the base cabinet run it interrupts on either side.

Relevant standards

NFPA 54 / ANSI Z223.1
National Fuel Gas Code - gas piping sizing and appliance connection for gas cooking appliances, which is what the stub behind the range answers to.
NEC Article 220
Branch-circuit, feeder, and service load calculations. It carries the demand factors for household electric ranges, which is why an electric range does not get counted at nameplate on the panel schedule.

36-inch Refrigerator

Kitchen - datum: back-center on wall line - default footprint 36in x 30in

A 36in refrigerator sets the tall opening in a residential kitchen plan. What matters on the drawing is less the box than the swing: French doors and freezer drawers sweep into the adjacent counter and aisle, and a hinge set against a return wall will not open far enough to pull the crisper drawers.

Sizing

36in covers the common French-door and side-by-side widths, 30in a narrow single-door or apartment unit, and 42in a built-in. The 28 to 34in depth runs from a counter-depth body at the low end to a standard-depth one with door and handle included at the high end.

Drafting notes

Because the block grows evenly about the insertion point, widening from 36 to 42in leaves that point in place and changes only the flanking cabinet dimensions. Handing is drawn rather than parametric, so mirror the swing arc on its own and leave the block where it sits.

Drawn alongside

Laid out against the range and dishwasher as the third leg of the work triangle, usually flanked by tall pantry or oven cabinets that fix the opening width.

24-inch Dishwasher

Kitchen - datum: back-center on wall line - default footprint 24in x 24in

24-inch Dishwasher - plan view CAD block
24-inch Dishwasher - plan view, 24in x 24in

The built-in dishwasher drops into the base-cabinet run, nearly always beside the sink so the drain hose and the hot supply share the sink cabinet. On a construction set it earns its place two ways: reserving the cabinet opening for the millwork schedule, and showing the open-door swing against the work aisle.

Sizing

24in is the standard built-in opening and also the ceiling on this block, since it does not go wider. 18in is the compact machine. The 22 to 25in depth covers the tub plus the door panel and handle standing proud of the cabinet face.

Drafting notes

Back-center on the wall line puts the insertion point mid-opening rather than at a corner, so it centers in a 24in gap between cabinets directly. Keep the open-door arc on a clearance layer that plots screened or not at all.

Drawn alongside

Drawn immediately beside the kitchen sink, and checked against the range and refrigerator when the work triangle and the aisle width are being reviewed.

Relevant standards

ADA 2010 Standards, Section 804.6.3
in a kitchen that must comply with 804, clear floor space is positioned adjacent to the dishwasher door and the door in the open position may not obstruct that space or the space at the sink, which is what the door-swing arc on the plan is testing
