How about going to a local cabinet maker and have him make a front for you. It should not be hard to do unless you have some rare wood or something like that. If you have factory made cabinets contact the company that made them.

Nancy, those refrigerators you see with the facing matching kitchen cabinets do not come with the cabinet facing materials in most cases. They come designed for and with the hardware necessary for attaching the cabinet facings. Most refrigerator manufacturers have models with that option. You can also get a model with that which is slightly less deep than the standard so that the refrigerator doesn't extend beyond your base cabinet faces to create an even more asthetically pleasing symetrical appearance.

As to the faces themselves, most cabinet makers offer them. If your cabinets are new enough their manufacturer may be able to help you. If you don't know who made them you might check on the inside of your drawer sides of the top drawers of your drawer bases. That's a common place for cabinet manufacturers to label their work. Even if all of that comes together(you find maker, they have panels in your style, etc.) you're still looking at the potential problem of actually matching the color (what was 'light blonde oak' when your cabinets were made may be different than their 'light blonde oak' today). That's where your local cabinet shop might give you more control. There you can carry in a door and ask if they can match it or not. It'll likely be more expensive but worth a look, anyhow. I hope this helps.
