Bosch B26FT70SNS/03 refrigerator Parts

No. Bosch refrigerators come in multiple cabinet heights, so 72 inches is common but not universal. For your Bosch B26FT70SNS refrigerator, the exact height depends on the specific configuration and leveling; we list the model-specific dimensions in the B26FT70SNS owner's manual.

Typical Bosch refrigerator height ranges

Bosch builds several refrigerator styles (bottom-mount, French door, side-by-side, built-in), and height varies by style and capacity. Most freestanding Bosch refrigerators fall into a few common height bands.

• Around 69 inches: some counter-depth and compact configurations
• Around 70 to 72 inches: many full-size freestanding models
• Taller than 72 inches: some larger-capacity or built-in style installations

How to measure your refrigerator correctly

To compare your current opening to a Bosch refrigerator spec, measure the cabinet, not just the doors.

• Measure floor to top of case (not the hinge cover unless the manual specifies it)
• Confirm the unit is leveled; front leveling legs can change the effective height
• Allow clearance for door swing and airflow at the top and back
• If you have an overhead cabinet, measure the smallest height point

What you are checking	Why it matters	What to use
Case height	Determines if it fits under cabinets	B26FT70SNS owner's manual
Leveling/tilt	Affects door closing and final height	Leveling legs/rollers
Top clearance	Prevents heat buildup and noise	Manual clearance guidance

Why it matters

A refrigerator that is even 1 inch too tall can force you to remove trim, block ventilation, or prevent proper leveling. Correct height and clearance also help the doors seal, which protects food temperatures and reduces compressor run time.

The most common problem we see with Bosch fridge freezers like model B26FT70SNS is a cooling complaint: warm fresh-food section, soft ice, or temperature swings. The usual causes are restricted airflow, dirty condenser coils, a leaking door seal, or an evaporator fan/defrost issue (often tied to the fan motor or defrost sensor). See the owner's manual for model-specific temperature and alarm guidance.

Most common symptoms (what you notice)

• Refrigerator section too warm but freezer seems OK
• Freezer too warm or not freezing solid
• Frost buildup on the back wall or on the evaporator cover
• Loud humming, rattling, or a fan noise that comes and goes
• Water dispenser or ice maker slows down or stops

Quick checks we recommend first

These steps solve a large share of “not cooling” calls without replacing parts:

• Make sure air vents inside the compartments are not blocked by food packages.
• Clean condenser coils and confirm the condenser fan area is clear of dust.
• Check door gaskets for gaps; close a dollar bill in the door and confirm it drags when pulled.
• Confirm temperature settings are at normal targets (most refrigerators run best near 37°F fresh food and 0°F freezer).
• Listen for the evaporator fan; if airflow is weak, cooling becomes uneven.

Parts that commonly relate to cooling and water issues

If the quick checks point to a component problem, these parts on this model’s parts list are common suspects:

Problem area	What it affects	Example part on this model
Evaporator airflow	Warm fridge, uneven temps, noise	Refrigerator evaporator fan motor 00618893 or refrigerator fan blade 00622352
Defrost system feedback	Frost buildup, reduced airflow	Refrigerator defrost sensor 00618543
Water supply to dispenser/ice maker	No water, slow fill, small cubes	Bosch refrigerator water inlet valve 00649626
Water taste/flow	Slow dispense, odor/taste	Refrigerator water filter 11034152

Why it matters

A refrigerator can still “run” while airflow is restricted or frost is building up; that forces longer run times, causes temperature swings, and can lead to food spoilage. Catching airflow and defrost symptoms early prevents repeat warm-ups.

Your Bosch refrigerator’s model number is printed on the rating label (model and serial tag). On B26FT70SNS units, you’ll typically find that label inside the fresh food compartment along the side wall or near the crisper area. Use the exact model number when ordering parts.

Where to look on the refrigerator

Check these common Bosch label locations first:

• Inside the refrigerator compartment on the left or right side wall
• Around the crisper drawer frame or just above the crisper drawers
• Along the top interior trim near the door opening
• On the hinge-side door jamb area (visible when the door is open)

For diagrams and model identification details, use the B26FT70SNS owner's manual.

What the model number looks like (and why it matters)

Bosch model numbers are a mix of letters, numbers, and sometimes a slash and suffix. For parts lookup, we recommend matching what’s on the label exactly.

You might see	What to do
B26FT70SNS	Use this as the base model number
B26FT70SNS/03	Use the full number including the suffix when selecting parts
Serial number	Keep it for service history, but do not use it to choose parts

Tips to avoid ordering the wrong part

• Copy the model number directly from the label (do not use the number from a sales receipt)
• Include the suffix (such as “/03”) if it appears on the tag
• If the label is hard to read, take a clear photo and zoom in
• Match the part to your exact model before ordering (for example, a refrigerator water filter 11034152)

Why it matters

Bosch often uses different components across suffix versions of the same base model. Using the full model number helps ensure the correct fit for items like a water filter, water inlet valve, or evaporator fan motor.
