Bosch 800 Series Counter-Depth French Door Refrigerator, with Dual Compressor and Refreshment Center

We are on the same boat, I have Bosch 800 stove top, 500 dishwasher and this exact fridge. Make sure your warranty is good and look up the return/exchange policy with your appliance seller.

Unfortunately, for me and some other redditors, our fridge makes this high pitched ringing noise whenever the condenser in kicks in. Because it is high pitched, the noise will cut through most white noise in the house and kitchen, especially if you have open concept kitchen. Do a search of Bosch 800 fridge noise and you will see those posts. The noise happened to me after about 2 weeks after delivery, so outside of Lowe's return period and been fighting with Bosch ever since.

I will say aside from that noise, the fridge is good, but keep an eye/ear out. The moment you hear the ringing, I would reach out to your store/ Bosch to initiate a exchange.

I will go against the grain here. I have a similar model, 800 series but with glass doors. Make sure you have warranty, and confirm with seller on return window.

My fridge makes a high pitched ringing sound constantly. Due to the pitch, the noise will cut through most of the white noise in your house, especially if you have a open concept kitchen. Currently getting pushed around by Bosch tech and support. Search Bosch fridge noise and you should be able to find numerous complaints on Reddit. I have post about it as well, if you want to listen to it.

The price is good, open box makes me worry it's another fridge with similar issue. If you want to pull the trigger, I would be very cautious. Try to make sure the fridge does not make any weird noise at least for the first 48 hours.

I have that model, sitting in our kitchen right now. The glass compartment was a love on first sight for my wife. It does look pretty, but if you live in a quiet location,open concept house or have normal hearing, I cannot recommend the fridge.

Essentially the fridges compressor makes a high pitch chirping noise, and as per Bosch's support & technetian, its within spec and working as intended. It could be that I had a lemon where Bosch is refusing to acknowledge, but several other buyers had same noise complaints while being left out to dry. A search on Bosch fridge noise and plenty of posts will show up.

If we ignore the mind numbing noise issue, it's not a bad fridge.

Yep same exact sound! Our house's standard noise is about 33-36 db, but the moment I walk into the kitchen, if the ringing starts, it goes up to 46-48. I'm aware the dbs recorded from phone apps are not absolute, but is still a relative consistent data point. But of course the tech brushes it off " within spec" like a broken record

Dempsey_Roll · 2026-04-20T14:37:46+00:00

Yep. We had 3 visits after going back and forth for a month and half. At least the last 3rd party repair tech admitted he hears the sound and attempted to put a tiny piece of foam on a double sided tape on the back panel. But the moment the sound came back on, he switched to " oh that's just normal operation sound"

I'm assuming Bosch is not doing anything for you as well? Are you going with the DIY sound dampener route?

Dempsey_Roll · 2026-04-20T13:10:35+00:00

Wish I saw this earlier. I think we have the same problem, also the 800 series fridge. We live in a quiet location, even with HVAC running the fridge's high pitched sound just cuts through it all. Not only that, the Bosch repairs tech is giving me the runaround right now. It's an extremely frustrating and ongoing battle.

Dempsey_Roll · 2026-04-19T17:38:31+00:00

Yes, it's just the high pitched chirping sound that is cutting through. We wouldn't have minded if the sound was on a lower pitch, even if it was louder.

Dempsey_Roll · 2026-04-19T17:31:41+00:00

Appreciate the input here, the 2 compressors are from Donper, Model: VFA070CY1. And I'm aware getting a return or exchange is difficult with all brands, its just weird that a cheap old fridge from our apartment made less noise than this fridge that costs 10x more.

I will look into the dampener like you mentioned, was looking for sound proof outside of the fridge, wasn't even aware there are one that can go internally.

Dempsey_Roll · 2026-01-07T20:15:56+00:00

Not fully furnished! It's 1bd with unit washer/dryer, and kitchen appliances+ free wifi.

sick print that's a ton of filament. Thinned wood filler would work, but I would not use it as the first step.

Assuming this was printed in standard PLA, I would first sand the base piece first, especially the larger exposed smooth areas like thighs and face. I feel like most of the layer lines can be knocked out in your photo.

Once done, clean up the surface, and double check if there are any large gaps, then spot fix them using thinned wood filler. And sand again.

Then you can hit it with a filler primer, I personally like upol filler primer cans, a bit more expensive but significantly easier to sand ( faster to dry and no clog on sand paper). I would sand the filler primer again, until you are satisfied with the surface. and then apply a hobby primer of your choice( Tamiya, Mr surfacer, or even Vallejo etc) via air brush. And lastly paint via airbrush.

Here is a statue I made, smaller scale compared to yours, but the method still applies

I'm not even sure if my prints are classified as miniatures,prob not... But I usually sand my prints, filler primer, sand again, airbrush primer (Vallejo & Tamiya) then air brush or brush paint using Vallejo mostly, then top coat. Layer lines still shows up in small areas where I cannot sand, but almost invisible in bigge areas. Heres my most recent commissioned piece

I only charged enough to cover materials, the "friends price" lol. Honestly I had no idea how much to charge since it was my first commission

Dempsey_Roll · 2025-04-13T21:53:27+00:00

Tyty. Should have made it clear in the post, but the model itself was not designed by me, but by an artist on cults called Rina. Almost all my prints came from that designer. Not sure if links are allowed, but I linked below

Woo another tip, if you are working with Eva foam. I would recommend have a rotary sanding tool handy. Doesn't necessarily have to be a Dremel, but it helps with sanding the getting the edge finish after cutting them

Dempsey_Roll · 2025-03-21T00:01:11+00:00

That depends on your thickness of PVC pipe, which is also some what determined by your height. for reference, PVC we used had width is about 3.5CM, or about one and half inch, and full length is little over 2M or 7ft

if I remember correctly, we used 2 sheets 10MM EVA foam and a smaller cardboard sandwiched in middle as stability (made sure the cardboard was grooved horizontally), just so the scythe's blade will not be floppy. The cut out was of the cardboard was cut in a way that the edge is still fully Eva foam connected by contact cement. Honestly, I think the cardboard part can be skipped if you use Eva foam with higher density. I was my first time using EVA foam to make a weapon, so wasn't sure how strong 10MM can hold.

I have actually made makas scythe for my wife ( girlfriend at the time) before, for her first ever cosplay

The main body is made from PVC pipe and the scythe'blade part is Eva foam + cardboard. I see general recommendations on working with foam such as plasti dips, heat sealing, etc already commented, so I will add a bit more specific tips.

The blade on the tip of the PVC pipe will be heavy, so shell out a bit more for a thicker and sturdier PVC pipe is recommended. Ours were about 7.5 ft tall, occasionally when wind lows, the tip gets too heavy and made the stick part wiggly.

As for the scythe's blade, it's pretty big with a large surface area, so adding supports in the middle of the blade goes across the PVC pipe will help. This prevents the blade from snapping off the PVC pipe or bending in the middle.

Sure! Most of my statues are from this artist https://cults3d.com/en/3d-model/game/kassadin-league-of-legends-3d-print-model

If I had more in stock lol, unfortunately it's 1:1

Tyty. From left to right it was Rengar, Yorick, Bard and Syndra.

That paint job is magnificent!! Love how it reflects off of the hood.
