Discontinued by Bosch, the B30BB830SS was a Benchmark built-in with a stainless door from the factory, 29 3/4 inches in width, 83 3/4 inches in height, with the freezer at the bottom. It included an ice maker and filtered water and sat within fitted cabinetry.
Units from this period are now old enough that the door gaskets are the main source of trouble. Once a gasket has gone hard, it no longer draws the door shut by magnetism over the last inch. The door just rests against the frame without sealing. Owners rarely see an open door; they see food temperatures slowly climbing and cannot explain it.
Our check takes seconds: ease the door to within an inch of closed, then release it. A sound gasket draws it in, and a stiff one leaves it hanging. New gaskets generally go on with the door left in place, although seating them square around a built-in frame needs patience. While there, we also listen to the condenser fan, because age makes its bearings noisy.
Close the door until it is about an inch open and let go. A healthy gasket pulls it in. If it stays put, the gasket has hardened, and that is exactly how food warms unnoticed.
Normally not. It is done with the door on its hinges. The skill lies in seating the seal square around the frame, but the work is routine.
Usually that the fan bearings are wearing, which is common with age. We test the fan and replace it before it fails and leaves the unit running warm.
