Most common issues on this model

  1. Ice production collapsing when the water filter has gone past its interval
  2. Ice maker fill tube freezing solid, which stops production
  3. Dispenser inside the cabinet dribbling once the valve is released

One number defines the B36CD50SNS: the QuickIce Pro system is rated for as much as 12 pounds daily, against 3.5 pounds on certain dual-compressor 800 Series refrigerators. The cabinet, 70 inches high and counter-depth, offers 21.6 cubic feet inside, humidity-controlled VitaFreshPlus drawers and the BottleFill dispenser.

Because ice is the headline, ice is what people notice when it weakens. A drop in production on this 500 Series model is typically a supply problem rather than a tired ice maker. Water has to arrive clean and at full flow, and anything that slows it, or lets the fill tube freeze, quietly cuts the harvest.

On a visit we therefore work from the water side backward: the filter and how long it has been installed first, then the inlet valve, then the fill tube for frost, and only afterwards the ice maker module. The BottleFill dispenser gets a look as well, to be sure its valve closes cleanly after use.

B36CD50SNSB36CD50SNS questions
Ice has fallen off sharply. Where do we begin?

With the filter. One that is overdue chokes the flow enough to slash ice production, and it explains most cases of a Bosch suddenly making half its usual amount.

Is a small amount of dripping from the dispenser acceptable?

Brief dripping while pressure in the line eases off is normal. If the drip does not stop, the valve is failing to close properly, and you want that fixed before the shelf below gets wet.

Is this model a bigger ice producer than the dual-compressor 800 Series?

On paper, yes: the QuickIce Pro rating is up to 12 pounds a day versus 3.5 on some dual-compressor machines, so lower output on those is not necessarily a problem.
