B11CB81SSS

Bosch B11CB81SSS

Most common issues on this model

  1. Doors that will not close on their own because the cabinet is out of level
  2. Anti-tip bracket left off a tall, narrow machine
  3. Frost on the freezer drawer when the seal does not make full contact

The tall, narrow shape of the B11CB81SSS is a European fridge-freezer silhouette, which is unusual in American kitchens. It was a freestanding 800 Series model, freezer at the bottom, in anti-fingerprint stainless, standing 78 7/8 inches high on a base only 23 1/2 inches across. Bosch discontinued it. You mostly find them in apartments and secondary kitchens.

A cabinet this tall and slim has two requirements. Its anti-tip bracket must be installed, and the floor beneath must be level. On a sloping floor the machine leans and cannot close its own doors, because it is meant to rest slightly back on its feet so that gravity helps shut them.

When an owner reports a door that swings open, we level it, since leaning slightly forward is the usual reason. We also look at the freezer drawer, which frosts over if the seal does not make full contact. Leveling a tall loaded cabinet is safer done by someone who can hold it steady, and getting it wrong makes the door problem worse.

B11CB81SSSB11CB81SSS questions
Why does my refrigerator door swing open instead of shutting?

Nearly always the cabinet is out of level, or leaning slightly forward. The design has it sitting fractionally back on its feet, so gravity helps the door swing shut.

Can an owner do the leveling?

The front feet do adjust, yet with a tall cabinet that is stocked, it is safer when someone steadies it and checks with a level. A wrong adjustment only worsens the door problem.

Why does a slim cabinet need an anti-tip bracket?

It is tall and narrow, so an open door loaded with bottles can pull it forward. The bracket at the back stops that from happening.
