Description & Features
The Dacor DRZ36980RAP 36" built‑in column freezer is designed for homeowners who want professional‑grade performance wrapped in a seamlessly integrated, panel‑ready exterior. With a generous 21.4 cu. ft. capacity and a width of 35 3/4", it offers impressive storage while fitting cleanly into a standard 36" cabinet opening, allowing you to customize the front with matching cabinetry for a truly flush, designer look. Inside, the distinctive SteelCool™ all‑stainless‑steel interior with immersive 3D LED lighting transforms everyday food storage into a striking display, evenly illuminating every shelf, bin, and drawer so you can see contents clearly at a glance. Unlike many conventional freezers, this model features advanced PreciseCooling™ technology with a dedicated compressor and evaporator that work together to minimize temperature fluctuations, helping preserve food texture, flavor, and nutritional quality over time.

The right‑hinge DRZ36980RAP also stands out with its intuitive Push‑to‑Open™ door assist, which gently opens with a light touch—ideal for hands‑full moments or for maintaining a clean, handle‑free aesthetic when paired with custom panels. A hidden, waist‑high touch control panel appears only when needed, giving you precise digital control over temperature settings, Power Freeze functions, and other options while keeping the interior lines sleek and uncluttered. Entertaining is made easier with the premium Dual Icemaker with Cocktail Ice™, which produces both standard cubes and larger, slower‑melting cocktail ice that keeps drinks colder without diluting them as quickly—an upscale feature rarely found in typical column freezers.

Thoughtful interior organization further elevates the experience: three full‑width tempered glass shelves with metal trim and spill‑proof design, two spacious freezer drawers, four door bins, and a hidden box with flip‑up cover make it simple to separate everyday staples from long‑term storage and specialty items. Full‑extension drawers that glide out even at a 90° door opening angle ensure easy access in built‑in installations, while ENERGY STAR® qualification helps manage energy consumption without sacrificing performance. From its luxury material selection to its smart, integrated design, the Dacor DRZ36980RAP column freezer delivers a refined balance of style, innovation, and reliability that sets it apart in high‑end kitchen refrigeration.

SteelCool™ stainless steel interior with 3DLighting™ – showcases food with integrated 3D LED lighting and full stainless-steel walls for a premium look and consistent interior temperatures.

Tempered, spill‑proof glass shelving with metal trim – three full‑width shelves contain spills and provide durable, easy‑to‑clean storage.

Low temperature fluctuation design – minimizes swings in interior temperature to help maintain food quality and reduce ice crystal formation.

3D LED interior lighting – brightly illuminates every corner so items are easy to see and retrieve, even on higher or lower shelves.

Hidden touch control panel – reveals with a touch at waist height, letting you adjust temperature and settings while preserving a clean exterior.

Door‑open alarm – alerts you if the door is left ajar, helping prevent temperature loss and food spoilage.

Sabbath Mode – modifies certain functions and lighting to meet Sabbath and holiday observance requirements.

Child Lock function – disables the control panel to prevent accidental or unwanted changes to settings.

Column configuration flexibility – can be installed alone or combined with matching refrigerator or wine columns for a tailored refrigeration wall.
