“I need pro handles for my Bosch 4 door refrigerator (B36CL80SNS). I realize that there is not a specific kit available for this model, so what are my alternatives? Could I use the BOHANDL40 for the two horizontal handles mix with two Thermador handles?”

The above is the typical answer you get from Bosch, which is not helpful. I even called them, but the reps. were clueless. As mentioned, we purchased the Bosch 4-door refrigerator B36CL80SNS, but wanted the professional handles. We loved the refrigerator, but hated the modern handles. I was determined to get what I wanted so here's what I ended up doing. The BOHAND-40 kit (which is not made for the model we own) comes with four handles...two for the refrigerator doors and two for the freezer doors. I ended up placing two orders of BOHAND-40 and only used the four handles intended for the refrigerator doors. Two of these handles worked perfectly for my freezer and produce drawers, while the other two hand to be shortened (cut) to proper length to fit my refrigerator doors. In the end, I got the handles I wanted for the B36CL80SNS. Was it expensive?...yes (two handle kits cost over $600.). Was it wasteful?...yes, because I didn't use four freezer handles between my two orders. Am I happy with my fridge and handles?...yes. Was Bosch helpful?...no. Why does not Bosch offer professional handles for this model?...who knows (don't buy this model if you want professional handles and are willing to do what I did).
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I'm curious, how do you cut the handles? I'm going to do the same thing. Thanks for posting Q&A. Bosch should really consider selling the Pro handles for this model.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I too really want this refrigerator but find the handles very cheap looking. They are plastic at the top on the sides and it really needs to be corrected. I’m highly considering going with a different brand to get what I want as far as a more professional and quality look.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.I just purchased this fridge and am wondering the exact same thing. Bosch has not made pro handles avail for this model, so if you attended the handle shortening, I would love to hear how that worked out and what you used to do it. Thank you!!
