Possible Causes

Defective dedicated NTC sensor for SuperCool/SuperFrost, Wiring fault in fast-cool circuit, Faulty relay on main PCB, Firmware error in control module

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Disconnect mains power before accessing control electronics or internal panels.

Step-by-step:

  • Reset special modes: Turn off SuperCool/SuperFrost functions via the control panel and then power-cycle the appliance for 5–10 minutes.
  • Observe behavior: After restart, activate SuperCool/SuperFrost and monitor whether the error reappears immediately.
  • Sensor inspection: On some Liebherr models, dedicated sensors are located near the air outlets for these functions. Inspect for damage or dislodged sensors.
  • Connector check: Access the main control board and reseat connectors associated with the fast-cool circuits (refer to wiring diagram if available).

When to call a technician: If F12 persists, a technician should test the specific sensors and control relays and update or replace the control module if necessary.
