Installed as part of a column-style built-in pairing, the RS36A72J1N carries the full weight of a custom cabinetry panel on its door hinges, which puts more strain on alignment and seals than a freestanding refrigerator ever sees. Most model-specific service calls trace back to that panel-related wear or to an ActiveSmart sensor rather than the compressor itself.
