Turn off showroom mode on Bosch B36CL80SNS French-Door Refrigerator

  • I was fortunate to get a great deal on a brand new 2019 Bosch French Door refrigerator. BUT, it was in showroom mode (demo mode), and there were no resources anywhere telling how to reset it! Not in the user manual, no repair manual (for a brand new product) hiding in the dark corners of the internet, and no UA-cam video.
    Bosch telephone tech support found the answer for me - but even they had some trouble finding the information. So, for anyone else with this problem, I found the secret, easy way to turn it off, and will show you here.
    If you refrigerator looks "alive," all lit up but not cooling, it might be in showroom mode, and hopefully this will help you.

    Happened to me this week. A female office manager at a repair centre heard my story and guessed.
    Bosch and Leon's not a clue! Awesome video. Thanks

    There was a couple of things missing in a tutorial... Vacation button must be pushed in order to get the lock to unlock .Bosh has a tutorial or no online you can download now... Pain in the butt but so worth it... That being said thank you so much for the heads up. We didn't know what was going on.

    Thank you SO MUCH for sharing this video. We ordered a brand new Bosch fridge in early February but it is currently on backorder until May (or so we're told) so we ended up taking the floor model at our local Lowe's. The delivery guys were in a bad mood and couldn't figure out how to get it to work. If not for your video we would still be trying to figure out what went wrong. So very helpful!

      @@chrisginoc We absolutely LOVE the fridge. It is worth the wait! It fits seamlessly into our space and looks more built-in than other counter-depths. The ice maker in the freezer drawer is conveniently located and the design - particularly the large shelves in both doors - provides ample space for everything we need. It's a sleek looking appliance and is perfect for the two of us. I'm a gourmet cook who is constantly using fresh produce, etc., and this has more than enough space. I did read a few reviews about noise but I haven't experienced any of those issues. Best of all, it really stays clean - no issues with smudges, etc. A simple wipe with Windex works perfectly to keep it shiny. And we love the flat doors. I highly recommend the Bosch fridge!

      @@carolaemerson Thanks for the feedback. Correct me if Im wrong, but I think the main difference between the SNS model in this video and the ENS model that you described having is the exterior handles vs no exterior handles, correct? I ordered the one with no exterior handles. Yeah we have to wait until June 10th-20th for delivery. Hope it's worth every minute.

      @@chrisginoc My pleasure on the feedback. I do believe the difference is in the handles. I have the exterior handles. :) I hope you enjoy your new fridge. You'll have to return and let us know how it goes. It's a shame that Bosch is backordered on so many of their units but hopefully they can deliver as expected for you!

      It's actually always explained in all user manuals, how to deactivate the showroom/demo mode. But maybe a bit "hidden" in the troubleshooting chapter, since these showroom appliances are more rare, than those directly from the factory. A bit tricky... but I am glad, it worked out in the end :)
