The BI-48SID is a 48″ Classic side-by-side refrigerator/freezer with an internal dispenser, from Sub-Zero’s legacy built-in lineup.
Frost building up inside the freezer compartment, and a cabinet that holds temperature overnight but drifts warmer through the day, are the cooling issues reported most on a BI-48SID. Separately, the internal dispenser delivering no water, or delivering it slowly, is a common call worth treating as its own issue rather than assuming it’s tied to the cooling drift.
