Where did you purchase it from? They should be able to advise on custom handles but to answer your question, you can have custom handles made but they will have to mount at the points identified on the installation guide, page 11 https://www.fisherpaykel.com/us/cooling/refrigeration/integrated-refrigeration/integrated-french-door-refrigerator-freezer-36in-ice-rs36a72j1-n-25823.html

So the handles will have to have mounting points at that length (shown above in your picture) but you could play with the material of the handles so they aren't visible and appear to be smaller e.g. white on white or wood on wood. Custom handles don't have to be metal but you probably have to find a cabinet maker to make them.

Who is making the panels?

Just realized you were asking about buying handles. This is from their website under Specifications

I'm not exactly sure of the model you have but looks like there are several options.

You really need to work with whomever you are buying this from. I think Panel ready means you have to buy a panel (stainless steel one above) or have one made by a cabinet maker.

hi - thanks! I have a panel made, which is why I'm especially confused. I purchased from build.com

The model number is Fisher Paykel RS36A72J1N

Scroll down and look for the correct handle kit.

You may need to call them to be sure. Whoever is making your panel would also be able to make one according to the specs.

thanks! I will search for appliance pull!

@tamiort - I bought the same fridge and I’m having trouble getting custom panels. How did yours turn out?

Hi all, same issue. I have the panels provided by the builder but I'm not sure if I can go ahead and buy my own pulls. I don't like the color options available as part of the kit.

We have this fridge but didn’t do the panels. Your cabinet maker will make the custom panels and you can use any oversized pull/handle 9+” (at least). You can look on most hardware websites and search for appliance pull. During installation they will put on the pull which have to go on before the panels are attached.
Hope this helps!

Do you have any idea about what kind of mounting the pulls need to be? The options I'm choosing from are Thru-Bolt mounting or Concealed.

look at the installation manual for the refrig you're putting it on. That should explain options

Help!!!!What other company besides Fisher Paykel that makes a fridge 36”Wx23”Dx72”H with either an internal or external water dispenser?

Wish I knew as well. We’re remodeling our kitchen and are looking for these things too. The Fisher Paykel 36”W x 24”D seems to be the most affordable one ($6,000) bc the only other option, my contractor hubs says, is double that amount!

I suggest you start a new post. Are you looking for a fridge that can received wood panels? Or are you looking for a fridge that has internal external water dispenser?
