Possible Causes
Clogged drain hole behind rear panel, Ice plug in drain tube, Debris or food particles blocking drain, Drain heater (if fitted) not working
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the refrigerator before removing interior panels. Water may spill; use towels.
Step-by-step:
- Locate drain: In many Liebherr models, the defrost drain is at the bottom of the rear interior wall of the refrigerator or behind the freezer evaporator panel.
- Clear surface blockage: Remove any visible debris from the drain hole with a soft brush or cotton swab.
- Flush drain: Use a turkey baster or syringe with warm water to flush the drain. Repeat until water flows freely to the rear drip tray.
- Defrost ice plug: If water does not pass, allow the unit to defrost with doors open for several hours, then flush again.
- Check rear drip tray: At the back of the unit, ensure the drain tube exits into the drip tray above the compressor and is not dislodged.
