True Residential TR-48SBS-SG-C-027-H08 The True 48 30.1 Cu. Ft. Built-In Side-By-Side Refrigerator 48-Inch Glass Door in Matte Black with Gold Hardware
The True Residential TR-48SBS-SG-C-027-H08 True 48 Glass Door is a 48-inch built-in side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with a Matte Black exterior, stainless-framed Low-E glass doors and 30.1 cu. ft. of total capacity, divided into 21.3 cu. ft. of refrigerator space and 8.8 cu. ft. of freezer space. Dual evaporators and dual compressors provide dedicated cooling for each zone, while balanced forced-air refrigeration promotes even temperatures and True Precision Control enables digital adjustments. An integrated ice maker produces up to 3 lbs. per day and stores 5 lbs., and adjustable stainless steel-encapsulated glass shelves, soft-close bins and polished wire freezer storage keep contents organized beneath ramp-up LED lighting.
Key Features
Dedicated Cooling for Each Zone
Dual evaporators and dual compressors manage the fresh-food and frozen compartments independently. Default settings are 38 degrees F in the refrigerator and 0 degrees F in the freezer, with adjustable ranges of 34-42 degrees F and -4-4 degrees F, respectively. Balanced forced air circulates throughout each compartment to support consistent conditions from shelf to bin.
30.1 Cu. Ft. Side-by-Side Organization
The 21.3 cu. ft. refrigerator compartment includes three adjustable or removable glass shelves, one fixed glass shelf and three full-extension drawer bins. The 8.8 cu. ft. freezer adds three adjustable or removable stainless wire shelves, one fixed wire shelf and three full-extension wire bins, providing both fixed and flexible levels for organized storage.
120-Degree Glass-Door Access
Stainless-framed doors use Low-E double-pane thermal glass to combine interior visibility with thermal efficiency. The proud stainless steel hinges are tested through one million door openings, hold the doors open at 120 degrees for loading and close softly, while robust tubular handles are designed for comfortable operation.
Ramp-Up Lighting and 304 Series Stainless Steel
The ramp-up LED system gradually illuminates the 304 Series stainless steel interior, showcasing both the professional-style material and the food stored inside. This dramatic lighting also makes shelves, drawers and freezer baskets easier to view through the glass doors.
Up to 3 Lbs. of Ice Per Day
The built-in ice maker produces prism-shaped ice at a rate of up to 3 lbs. per day and holds as much as 5 lbs. in storage. The installation requires a 1/4 in. PEX water supply with 30-100 psi operating pressure and a 0.5 gpm flow rate.
Flush or Proud Built-In Installation
For flush installation, the manual specifies a 48-1/4 in. W x 26 in. D x 84-1/4 in. H rough opening; proud installation calls for 47-3/4 in. W x 24 in. D x 84 in. H. A dedicated 115 VAC, 60 Hz, 15-amp circuit and anti-tip installation are required, and the floor beneath the unit should support at least 150 lb. per sq. ft. Use the refrigerator sizing and buying guide to plan the surrounding space before installation.
694 kWh Estimated Yearly Electricity Use
The U.S. EnergyGuide estimates 694 kWh in yearly electricity use and $98 in yearly energy cost.1 The label identifies automatic defrost, a side-mounted freezer and no through-the-door ice.
