The 700BFI is the ice maker version of the 700BF, an all-freezer drawer unit from Sub-Zero’s discontinued 700 Series with a removable ice bucket.
Ice forming over the drain and leaving water beneath the lowest basket is the issue reported most on a 700BFI, and it’s often connected to a unit running constantly without ever cycling off. The ice maker falling short — no ice, slow ice, or cloudy cubes — is a distinct issue worth its own diagnosis.
