How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off the ice maker function when the bin is removed to avoid spillage.
- Inspect bin switch: Locate the bin detection switch or lever and verify it moves freely when the bin is inserted/removed.
- Test response: With power on, insert and remove the bin while watching the control panel for any change in ice maker status.
- Replace switch if faulty: If the switch does not change state, replace it with a genuine Liebherr part.
- Service control: If the switch works mechanically but the control ignores it, the main PCB may require replacement by a technician.
