The T36IB100SP is the 36-inch version of Thermador’s single-door bottom-freezer built-in, sharing its 18.8 cu ft total capacity (12.7 cu ft refrigerator / 6.1 cu ft freezer) with the French-door T36IT100NP but using one full-width door over the fresh-food section instead of two. At roughly 527 lb, door sag from hinge wear or an out-of-level cabinet is a more common complaint than on narrower columns simply due to the weight the hinge has to carry.
Like the 30-inch T30IB102SP, its internal water dispenser and ice maker (rated 4.5 lb/24hr) sit behind the fresh-food door rather than externally, so most dispenser complaints trace to the filter cartridge, refill presets, or internal plumbing rather than a door-mounted chute. Freezer-drawer sealing issues – often from a worn gasket or a drawer not closing fully – show up as frost buildup or a freezer that runs warmer than its set point while the fresh-food side stays normal.
