How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the appliance before inspecting the power connections. Mains voltage can be lethal.
Steps:
- 1. Check wall outlet: Test the outlet with another appliance to ensure stable power. Avoid using extension cords or multi-plug adapters.
- 2. Inspect power cord: Look for cuts, kinks, or burn marks. If damaged, the cord must be replaced by a qualified technician.
- 3. Access terminal block: Remove the rear cover to locate the mains terminal block or entry point. Verify that all screws are tight and there are no signs of overheating.
- 4. Examine main PCB: Look for swollen capacitors, burnt components, or discoloration in the power supply area of the board.
- 5. Reset and test: After checks, reconnect power and monitor for recurrence of F8.
Note: Replacement of the main control board or power module should be done by a Liebherr service technician due to safety and programming requirements.
