Possible Causes
Defective magnetic door contact switch, Misaligned door causing poor magnet activation, Broken wiring in door hinge area
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the freezer before working near wiring or the control panel.
Steps:
- Identify door contact: Liebherr freezers often use a magnetic reed switch hidden in the cabinet frame and a magnet in the door.
- Check door alignment: Ensure the door closes fully and evenly. Adjust the leveling feet so the cabinet is not twisted.
- Test magnet: Run a small magnet along the frame where the switch is located. If the interior light or display reacts intermittently, the reed switch may be failing.
- Inspect hinge wiring: If the switch is wired through the hinge, remove the hinge cover and check for broken or pinched wires.
Remedy: Replace the door contact switch or magnet if defective. Ensure the new switch is positioned correctly so it changes state when the door is closed.
