The T36IR905SP is the widest all-refrigerator column Thermador currently lists, at 20.6 cu ft gross capacity, an 83 3/4-inch height, and roughly 447 lb gross weight – large enough to serve as a household’s sole refrigerator when paired with a separate freezer column, or as extra fresh-food capacity alongside a French-door combination unit. It uses the same Freedom Hinge and all-leg leveling system as the rest of the column line for flush custom-panel installation, along with theater-style diffused LED lighting and ThermaFresh Pro drawers that Thermador rates for keeping produce like grapes fresh up to 28 days via independent temperature and humidity control.
Given its size and weight, leveling and hinge alignment issues after installation are a common source of door-seal complaints; a door that won’t sit flush is more often a leveling or hinge-adjustment problem than a refrigerant or control problem. Because it has no ice or water hardware, cooling complaints should be diagnosed against the compressor, evaporator, and door seal rather than a dispenser path.
