The T18IF800SP is the 800-generation ancestor of the current T18IF905SP: the same 18-inch width and flush Freedom hinge, 8.6 cubic feet, and an internal ice maker instead of a door dispenser. Its use and care guide is one of the few Thermador refrigeration documents that describes a built-in self-test, and it tells owners to run it before calling for service.
When the test finds a problem, the ALARM symbol lights with a message naming the part, a sensor for example. That message is worth writing down. The same guide gives 25-120 psi as the water pressure range for the ice maker, which explains many small-cube complaints in homes with weak supply or a reverse-osmosis system.
