The 249FFI is the ice maker version of the 249FF, an undercounter all-freezer from Sub-Zero’s discontinued 200 Series with a removable ice bucket.
A defrost cycle not completing, leaving ice on the evaporator, is the issue reported most on a 249FFI, and it can lead directly to a door or drawer that no longer seals fully when closed. No ice, slow ice, or cloudy cubes from the ice maker is a common complaint that’s best diagnosed on its own.
