Bosch Thermador Gaggenau Ice Maker Assembly Parts — Models & Compatibility

If your Bosch, Thermador, or Gaggenau refrigerator stopped making ice completely, you're likely looking at a failed ice maker assembly. This 11036056 replacement fits over 50 models across all three premium brands — they share the same ice production system despite different nameplates. This part supersedes AP6991261, PS16221894, and EAP16221894.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Your model number is printed on a metal tag inside the refrigerator compartment, usually on the left or right wall near the top. For Bosch models, look for numbers like B36CD50SNS or B36IT800NP. Thermador models typically start with T36 or T42, while Gaggenau models begin with RB or RC. Check the compatible models list below — if your exact model and revision number appear, this assembly will fit.

About This Replacement Part

The 11036056 is a complete ice maker assembly that includes the motor, mold, ejector blade, and bail arm. In these premium refrigerators, ice maker failures typically happen after 5-7 years when the motor seizes or the plastic mold develops cracks from constant freeze-thaw cycles. Unlike cheaper appliances where you might replace individual components, Bosch engineered this as a single assembly for reliability. The part arrives pre-assembled — you'll disconnect the wire harness, remove four mounting screws from the old unit, and install the new assembly in about 20 minutes. Make sure to let the new ice maker cycle completely before expecting full production (usually 24 hours for the first batch).

This assembly works across multiple product generations because Bosch maintained the same mounting bracket design and electrical connector through several years of production. The revision numbers (the two digits after the slash) indicate minor updates to other refrigerator components, not changes to the ice maker mounting system.

Cross-Reference Numbers

This part replaces: AP6991261, PS16221894, EAP16221894. If you're finding this part through warranty paperwork or a technician's quote, it may be listed under any of those numbers — they're all the same assembly.

Installation Overview

You'll need a 1/4" nut driver and about 20 minutes. Turn off the ice maker's bail arm (the metal wire that senses ice level), unplug the wire harness, remove the four screws holding the assembly to the freezer wall, lift out the old unit, position the new assembly, reconnect everything in reverse order. The trickiest part is making sure the wire harness clicks fully into place — if it's loose, you'll get intermittent operation or no ice at all.

Why This Assembly Fails

The most common failure point is the motor that rotates the ejector blade. After years of cycling through freeze-harvest-eject sequences, the motor bearings wear out and it either runs constantly (wasting energy) or stops completely (no ice). Another issue is the plastic mold cracking from thermal stress — you'll notice water pooling in the freezer or ice cubes that are misshapen. Once either problem starts, the entire assembly needs replacement because these components aren't sold separately for this model series.

Need Help Identifying Your Model?

If you're not sure whether this part fits your specific Bosch, Thermador, or Gaggenau refrigerator, check the full model number including the revision code (the digits after the slash). The compatible models list includes the most common versions, but Bosch used this assembly across their entire premium lineup from around 2015-2022. When in doubt, compare your model number's first 10-12 characters — if they match one on the list, you're good to go.
