Size handle for 36' integrated Sub Zero
Comments (5)Any handle that you can get a good grip upon and which is securely screwed though the panel will work, especially if it's well located, fairly near the edge where the door opens. Everything else is just style. I have integrated all fridge/all freezer and separate fridge drawers. For the fridge and freezer I went with 36" pulls because I wanted to make a statement. For the fridge drawers, I used 18" versions of the same pull, and put 7" ones on the regular drawers around it in the island. There's also an 18" on the DW and a 24" on the WD. The rest of the cabinets and drawers have knobs. I like this mix of matching and still being identifiable as appliances due to the size. Some people prefer to have the integrated appliances look just like the rest of the cabinetry so that you can't tell. It's not as good ergonomically, but it gives a uniform look which some folks find appealing....See MoreSub-zero 36BI SXS freezer trouble
Comments (5)Ya took the trouble to crawl outta that mound just to post this, Antss? First, (Probably already too late), find another place to store the stuff in the freezer. Second, see if you can hear the compressor running for the freezer, be careful not to confuse it with the compressor for the fridge. Try cutting the power to the unit, leave off a minute or 2 then repower the unit. Try setting the temp control all the way up and down a couple times, the leave at the coldest setting. At least you are under warranty, so Antss is somewhat "On target" with his advice, but my "Hunch" is that you were hoping to get it working "ASAP" so you don't loose what's in it? Good Luck with it!!! (No I won't say it), I'm trying to help and being nice!!!! Gary...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 MoreHelp with Sub Zero integrated fridge size question.
Comments (9)If you are worried that it might be too small, then I would look for something else. I had a 48" SZ when my kids were home and I felt that at times it was not big enough, and I always had an extra refrigerator for overflow. In my new kitchen, I went with the 36" built in all refrigerator with the compressor on top, mainly because I am shorter and its easier to reach the top shelf. I like to have a lot of produce space, but it really all depends on your personal shopping, storing and cooking habits. I do have a friend who has the unit you are considering in the all refrigerator version, and then put in a set of freezer drawers next to it. That may be another option to consider....See Moreebethny
