Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not attempt to open the sealed refrigeration system yourself. This requires certified equipment and training.
Steps:
- Check ventilation: Ensure at least the minimum clearance specified by Liebherr around the appliance and that vents are not blocked.
- Condenser cleaning: Clean the rear or bottom condenser coils thoroughly to improve heat dissipation.
- Door seals: Inspect gaskets for gaps or damage that could cause warm air ingress.
Remedy: If F20 persists and the freezer cannot reach set temperature despite good ventilation and seals, a sealed system issue is likely. Contact an authorized Liebherr service technician for leak detection, recharging, or compressor replacement.
