Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Basic checks can be done with power on, but unplug the unit before removing rear covers.

Steps:

  • 1. Acknowledge alarm: Press the alarm/OK button to silence the buzzer. Note the displayed temperature.
  • 2. Check door and seal: Ensure the door closes fully and the gasket seals all around. Correct any obstructions.
  • 3. Verify ventilation: Confirm that installation clearances match Liebherr specifications and that ventilation grills are not blocked.
  • 4. Clean condenser: Unplug the unit, remove the rear lower cover, and gently clean dust from the condenser coils.
  • 5. Allow recovery time: After heavy loading or a warm start, the unit may need 12–24 hours to reach set temperature. Monitor the temperature trend.

Call a technician if the temperature does not drop despite continuous running, as this may indicate a sealed system issue (refrigerant leak, blocked capillary, or failing compressor).
