Possible Causes
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Do not attempt to open the sealed system yourself; specialized tools and certification are required.
Step-by-step (owner checks):
- Condenser temperature: Carefully feel the condenser (rear grid or bottom coil) after the unit has run for 20–30 minutes. If it is completely cool, the sealed system may not be moving refrigerant.
- Frost pattern: If accessible, inspect the evaporator. Frost only on a small section indicates low refrigerant or restriction.
- Noise: Listen for unusual compressor noises (knocking, metallic sounds).
Action: Contact an authorized Liebherr service technician. Sealed system repairs involve refrigerant recovery, leak detection, and recharging and are not DIY tasks.
