The BI-36S is a 36″ Classic side-by-side refrigerator/freezer from Sub-Zero’s legacy built-in lineup, also printed as the BI-36S/S and BI-36S/O.
Water pooling beneath the crisper drawers is one of the more common issues on a BI-36S, usually pointing to a drain or seal problem rather than a spill. New fan noise from behind the rear panel, and interior lighting that stays dark or flickers as the door opens, are the other calls typical of this model — the lighting issue is more often a bulb or socket connection than anything refrigeration-related.
