Bosch Counter Depth Review
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Not sure if its the refrigerator or who assembled it, but the doors are not hung even both in height (and depth as they do not close tightly) and the crushed ice feature does not work. That being said, love the look and there is a lot of inside storage for a counter-depth in both the refrigerator and freezer sections.

Bosch 500-Series Refrigerator/Freezer
||Posted .Appliance has performed well during first few weeks. We would have preferred a Bosch 800-Series Counter Depth Refrigerator/Freezer, but it would not fit into the designated 71-inch high Kitchen location due to the now Bosch 800-Series 72-inch height.

Pretty decent, looks good, works well
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Not the best design inside. A month later and I still can’t figure out how to arrange it. It cools well, it looks good. One other thing is, the doors don’t shut well unless you make sure they are closed. By the time I get the notification you’re already miles away from home.

It is a fine refrigerator
||Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.It is okay...we settled on it because it fit into our space that was 70 inch high and the 800 series was 72 inches...which is what I actually wanted. I am glad that I realized it before it was delivered.

NO Ice Maker in the Fridge!
||Posted .Owned for 1 week when reviewed.Great Fridge. Very well made and lots of room for its size. Unfortunately, it doesn't have an ice maker in the freezer. Only an ice tray. Very decieving.

So far, so good
||Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This is our first Bosch appliance and so far, so good! I love the sleek look, and the lighting on the inside! The wider, counter depth fridge makes it so easy to see everything inside. Nothing gets buried behind other items! The door shelves are good sized too.

WORST FRIDGE EVER
||Posted .I’ve never regretted a purchase quite as this one right here. After having this fridge for 5 months, we’ve been having this loud knocking sound coming from the ice maker. Now the ice maker completely stops making ice. Living in Vegas ice is essential and this fridge isn’t even a year old. PLS RUN FAR AWAY FROM THIS STUPID FRIDGE. One of the main reasons we with Bosch is because they claimed to be the quickest fridge to produce ice. Reading recent reviews completely proves otherwise.

Q: QuestionWe purchased our 500 series 5/21/22. Since set up I can hear an intermittent noise (other than emptying/filling cycle) coming from the ice maker area. occasionally. Otherwise, it's very quiet when running.. Is this normal?
Asked by Jedd.
- A:Answer Hi Jedd, thank you for your question regarding Model:B36CD50SNS. Per the Use and Care Guide: Normal noises - Droning: A motor is running, e.g. refrigerating unit, fan, water valve is activated. Bubbling, buzzing or gurgling: Refrigerant is flowing through the tubes. Clicking: Motor, switch, solenoid valves or water valve are switching on or off. Cracking: Automatic defrosting is running. Clattering sound: Ice cubes from the ice maker are falling into the ice cube bin. To prevent noises, they suggest the following: Appliance is not level: Align appliance. The appliance is not "free-standing": Make sure the appliance is not touching other surfaces and the minimum clearances are observed. Bins, shelves or storage compartments wobble or stick: Check the removable equipment and re-insert if required. Bottles or containers are touching each other: Move bottles or containers away from each other. If you still have questions regarding the noise, please reach out to our Customer Support Team at 800-944-2904.
