Possible Causes

Failed circulation fan motor between zones, Obstruction by bottles or shelves, Broken fan wiring

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Unplug the unit before removing interior panels or touching the fan.

Steps:

  • 1. Identify circulation fan: On some Liebherr multi-zone models, a fan between compartments equalizes temperature. It is often behind a grille between zones.
  • 2. Check for blockage: Remove any bottles or racks that may obstruct the airflow grille. Ensure vents are not covered.
  • 3. Access the fan: Remove the grille or panel to expose the fan. Inspect for broken blades or foreign objects.
  • 4. Spin and test: Spin the fan by hand; if stiff, the motor is likely bad. Check wiring and connector for damage.
  • 5. Replace fan: Install a new Liebherr circulation fan motor assembly and reassemble the grille.
  • 6. Test operation: Restore power and confirm that the fan runs when both zones are cooling.
