Required identifiers

  • Complete model from appliance label: B36CT81ENS

  • Bosch specification model code: B36CT81ENS. Bosch support’s filter finder may require the complete E-Nr with slash and two-digit revision from the appliance label.

Compatibility rules

  • Bosch’s model-specific sheet is the fit receipt; this internal-dispenser 800-Series model is not being matched from its resemblance to another Bosch cabinet.
  • The cited manufacturer model/support/specification page is the fit receipt for B36CT81ENS; do not infer fit for another finish, suffix, revision, or nearby series.

Never assume

  • BORPLFTR55 fits all Bosch refrigerators or another product merely because the name or filter appearance is similar.
  • The refrigerator water cartridge is interchangeable with its air/odor filter, produce preserver, housing, or bypass plug.
  • The manufacturer’s named contaminant/certification claims cover every contaminant or make microbiologically unsafe or unknown-quality water safe.
  • Do not assume a filter fit after the refrigerator’s filter head has been replaced during repair; Bosch warns a different cartridge may be needed.
  • Do not substitute a different Bosch filter family (for example BORPLFTR50) based on appearance or product series.
