Sub-Zero with dispenser -- ok with cabinet overlay?
Comments (3)I have a 42" with dispenser going in shortly with overlays. So far we are really pleased with the cabinets from Decora. Our KD has worked with them many years. If you stay tuned or email me I will let you know. crpoole@bellsouth.net...See MoreDiscontinued Sub Zero 736 vs. New Sub Zero IT 36
Comments (11)BK - you are just flat out wrong wrong here. SZ makes their own fridges in their own factories, and about the only thing that is of Whirlpool design is the $50 ice maker unit that 60+% of the industry uses ! They fabricate their own steel and plastic cases, source their own, copper and glass, spray their own insulation , designed their own ethelyene filter, and on and on. Whirlpool wasn't even in the fridge business until a decade after SZ was producing theirs , and the only reason Whirlpool got in it was because of a merger. and, we all know about mergers. SZ has and these units in real homes for twelve plus months already , so they kinda know what is flawed with them. These also aren't just some half baked platform off the drawing board like your Maytag example. Further , Maytag ceases to exist because they were boneheads. Their Neptune debacle blew a hole in the ship, and the Amana acquisition enlarged it. And guess who picked up the pieces folks? Yep, BK's white knight and general do gooder, Whirlpool. Happy, I know it's a tough decision for you right now with this model change especially since they are different sizes. I would go for he new design, simply because that 7xx platform is almost twenty years old now and the 36" one is not the best size anyway. Have you considered one of the 36" ers from one of the Miele, Gaggenau, Thermador cousins? They are all top quality and roughly the same price as that 736. Available now and first of the year no changes, proven platform with nice features, and they integrate very smoothly....See MoreSub Zero Panels
Comments (13)Thanks everyone for the information. What we're planning (although it could change yet) for the outer "show panels" is to have 6 panels to match our cabinets. They will be 2 panels wide, and have a "door" panel, a "drawer" panel, then another taller "door" on top of that. Here's a SketchUp drawing of how we think it will look: I also posted this in the woodworking forum, and got this response: I make my door inserts as two pieces. One piece is the 'show panel', usually 3/4' thick, it's the door that you actually see. The assembled stiles, rails, raised panels, etc. All painted or stained up purdy. The second set of pieces I make combine the .10' spacer and the .25' panel in one. I usually rip roughly 2' to 3' wide strips of 3/4' poplar on my table saw. I'll rip a 3/4' thick poplar board to say about 3' wide. I then reset the fence to just a tad under 3/8', flip the board up on edge, and run it through so I now have ~3/8' shy thick by 3' wide strips of poplar. Now I rest the fence to 1/4' from the blade and raise the blade to about 5/16' high. I then run the strips through. This will waste away something like a rabbet, roughly .10' by 5/16'. This poplar strip now serves as both my .10' shim and my .25' thick backer panel. I attach them to the back of my door panel, around the perimeter of the panel. I'll certainly post pictures once it's done....See MoreIs this right? Sub Zero panel
Comments (1)Linda - that's how it's supposed to be, it's not a fully integrated fridge. The only variant I can see is that the top panel is taller and xtends above the framing. This is not common but totally acceptable. In this case I thin its the best solution design wise. The alternative is the reg. sized panel, and then another panel above it to make up the 4-6" to the ceiling....See Morerobbcs3
