Panels
The panels from model 561 will not fit model BI-36UFD.
- The BI-36UFD is a French door model, so two door panels are needed for the refrigerator.
- It is not possible to divide the existing panel from the 550 to retrofit it to the BI-36UFD.
- If used, order a new reduced height or extended grille. See Classic Series (BI) Grille Height Options.
- New custom panels would be needed.
- Side panels cannot be reused.
