Liebherr Refrigerator Troubleshooting
If you're looking for help fixing your Liebherr Refrigerator, look no further! Our comprehensive Liebherr Refrigerator Troubleshooting guide will explain common issues, provide tips, and show you how to read your model's error codes.
The food is frosting over
The appliance has a small plastic bung which comes in the accessory pack. Ensure that the bung is fitted in the drain hole in the base of the appliance. If not warm air is drawn into the appliance on opening the door, which creates frosting.
The appliance is not straight / the door is at an angle.
Ensure the appliance has been levelled using the adjustable feet. Place a spirit level on top of the appliance to check as you make the adjustment.
The appliance can no longer be switched off.
The child-safe control has been activated by pressing a button combination, preventing the appliance from being inadvertently switched off. De-activate the child-safe control, if you need to switch off.
There is a vibrating noise coming from my refrigerator / freezer
Vibration noises can occur when appliances are placed on hard flooring or are uneven. Check your appliances position and that it is level, make any necessary adjustments in accordance with Liebherr installation instructions and your retailers/fitters advice.
There appears to be a strange / unusual smell coming from my refrigerator
• A piece of food may have found its way onto the refrigerator compressor via the defrost water drain and evaporation tray. The residual heat given off by the compressor will cause food remnants (e.g. spilt milk) to emit unpleasant smells which can penetrate back into the appliance via the defrost water drain.
• Residues of spilt liquids on the glass shelves, in the door seals etc.
• Food that has gone off, e.g. after a long period of absence.
• Residues in the defrost water on the rear wall of the interior (the condensed water on the rear wall may contain substances and micro-organisms that can cause smells to develop).
The temperature in the refrigerator compartment is too high. Appliances with manual winter heater.
The winter mode may have been unnecessarily activated. The winter heater should only be activated when the ambient temperature falls below 16°C or 18°C, depending on the model. If the winter heater is activated in higher ambient temperatures, this will cause the interior to heat up. (Pre LED models). Deactivate the winter switch.
Refrigerator does not cool but the display indicates 5°C or –18°C.
It is possible that the demo mode is activated. The user may have inadvertently activated the demo mode.

Liebherr Refrigerator issue
Liebherr Refrigerator difficulty
Hey guys, Good product, good service, good choice to buy this one. I using Liebherr fridge for last 2 years. Good experience to use this fridge. Very happy to buy this one and also good quality, very spacious too. Design, colour are unique.
Hii guys I had purchased a new Liebherr refrigerator from vijay sales, I had suggested by vijay sales employee.. with the explanation I had purchased it after using the refrigerator I had seen a excellent performance by refrigerator, perfect cooling and services is also good and I got lot of space in this and I had spice boxes also. I suggest to buy liebherr refrigerator to my friends & relatives also.... I suggest you also to buy such good product and its worth of cost....
When I went to buy refrigerator in the market, I liked the Liebherr refrigerator after seeing many brands there. The space for adjusting this refrigerator self is quite good. The vegetable box is also quite large. The toughened glass above the vegetable box is also very useful on which we can place our things. It also has a Spice Box option to contain spices which are not available in other refrigerators. Coolpad is a unique feature that can keep water cool in indoor and outdoor places. The power consumption of the Liebherr refrigerator is lower than other refrigerators. I am completely satisfied by purchasing this refrigerator.
We are a couple of seniors and easy on our appliances. We paid a lot of money ($4,706.31) in 2009 for French doors, 2 freezer drawer model Liebherr refrigerator. We loved the look and features showing in and out. Within a few short months, the insides’ starting falling apart. The drawer tracks kept falling off and the milk shelf restraints broke loose. Just five years later, just after the warranty was done, the inside of the refrigerator part started freezing up and frost formed all over the back wall. We hassled back and forth with Customer Service and they finally agreed to send us a part (Evap Motor). We had to pay to have it installed. Now we have it set at 40 degrees, and it still freezes some foods. I am so unhappy with this product and would not recommend it to anyone.
Ive had my Liebherr refrigerator for a several years now. It looks good, but so many things have gone wrong with it from the beginning. The inside sweats, a lot. It has sweat so much that water pools in the bottom, under the crisper drawer, if I dont constantly wipe it out. In the freezer, the ice maker stopped working. The ice tray cracked and the mother board failed. It was a mess because water flowed into the ice drawer and froze. Since this is considered a high-end appliance, the repairs and replacement parts were not cheap either. My complaint is that it is a piece of junk with a high price tag, plus huge repair and replacement expenses. Never buying Liebherr again.
I bought this fridge in November last year for my Parents who are living in India and it broke down in 7 months. It took ages to get someone to look at it and so it took another few weeks to get the part ordered. Now company won’t have people who can come and fix the part and every time we call they are giving us different dates but no one is showing up on any dates given so far.When other family member called and ask if we can order a new fridge and when can we get delivered the response was straight away, We can deliver you next working day. So company have people to deliver the New fridge but not to attend the service for broken fridge. When we ask why is it like that the company spoke person don’t have answer for it. My parents are senior citizens And living by themselves and now have to struggle with this situation on daily basis and don’t have any fridge to store food from last few weeks have to buy daily essentials everyday especially in Covid pandemic when they shouldn’t be going out much. There is lack of customer care and no one is being helpful even though fridge comes with 10 years warranty. I highly recommend not to purchase this product as you will have lot of trouble to get it fixed if anything goes wrong.
Absurdly constructed product that has no customer service backing, arrogant customer service full of lies about the quality of the product. A total waste of money full of headache. Ive never experienced any product so cruelly deceptive backed by con men and women who represent this companys customer service. Horrible workmanship, design, and engineering. The worst ever. Stay far away from this mess.Im the unlucky guy who was sold a bag of goods from kitchen designer regarding the Liebherr C-1650 refrigerator, freezer with ice maker. I bought eight of them in 2009 and I could have bought two very nice new cars at that time for the same price. They are EXTREMELY expensive, horribly constructed appliances. Its beyond belief how horrible they are. My maintenance man recently said, a person could live off what you spend on repairs for those refrigerators. In nine years each ice maker has been replaced at least three times! There are constantly issues. Theres one now that has a brand new ice maker in it that we cant get to produce ice for six months now.
Well, in the beginning I hesitated to buy the product, whereas Liebherr representative have educated me and gave comparison about other refrigerators which Im impressed and the efficiency is still awesome.. I can refer to those who want to go for new luxury refrigerator..
Product is good with good cooling, door is hard to open. Once closing the door and try to open, one should hold the refrigerator and door handle to pull. I trying to open just with handle the refrigerator shakes by changing the position and food inside will shake and fall or spill.
The quality is very good... The freezer has a nice space.. You can freeze more things at a time... I have purchased it in last year Oct 2019. Compact and sturdy build quality, Good cooling effect, low noise, wide range in-built stabilizer. No need to put any stand below the fridge. Leg size is sufficient to clean the floor below, Compressor seems to be of good quality. Low cost compared to similar other brands.
I have owned a Liebherr fridge since 2012. The refrigeration has generally been good. Temperature is maintained in both compartments. The main issues, and there have been many, are structural as well as electronic. The plastic shelves have cracked as have the freezer bins. The ice maker fell apart and had to be replaced..The tracks on the two freezer drawers often get stuck. The main control panel had to be replaced. The unit beeps constantly and no one has had a solution. I have had to spend over $2000 on service calls and parts replacements. Buyer beware!
Hi. This Liebherr product very good. Am using TCB2640. This is the best refrigerator and like the cool pack and spice box and this fridge is very silent not like other brand, Please try this brand and also suggest all my friends to buy Liebherr product... Thank you.
LIEBHERR 265 new brand fridge purchased in July month 2019 which has problem. Within a week lot of water coming out from fridge and complain made to customer care for fixing. Now again issue repeated and freeze is not working at all. No cooling happening & complete shutdown condition of fridge. Issue again reported to customer executive on high priority but no one visited or communicated yet. I request people to be careful while buying freeze based on advertisement. I am already suffering with buying this product.
Hello members, I have taken fridge 290. lts nice product and good service in this product and I like good cooling in this product with good quality and service. I have will get some more products in this brand, I hope vl receive soon. Thank you Liebherr
I shopped for 2 years to find the perfect fridge for my small kitchen, and Leibherrs model was the best for many reasons, namely its exceptional 5 year warranty, sleek design and efficiency. Given that I have had 3 major parts replaced within its first year of use (note: I live alone so minimum wear and tear), I am grateful for the warranty. The two different local technical service companies that have repaired it have also been exceptional. My complaint is with Leibherr customer service in Orlando or Miami, FL at 866-543-2437 who I must contact to initiate a service call. Initially, they are responsive and helpful, but on at least two occasions they have sent the wrong parts, even when they have my correct model in writing. When one lives in a hot, humid environment and without a fridge for 2-3 weeks to wait for the needed parts and then wait another 3 days for the techs to schedule a visit, the inconvenience and expense of waiting is very stressful, at best. In addition, the service reps who answer the phone have given me wrong advice of how to mitigate the situation until the techs show up, i.e. not to defrost, not to shut the unit off, etc. When the techs come, they must return later after it defrosts or blow dry my unit before they can even start to repair it. Given my above efforts, I escalated to their management: namely Shauna and Chris. I was always told that they were in meetings and promised that they would return my call, which never happened. Initially, Shauna replied via email and offered to connect me higher management, but she never followed up. The rep who answered the phone refused to give me the last name of Chris, the manager at the site nor him email address. Please note that I have tried repeatedly to express my frustrations directly with them before writing this review. When one spends $3,000.00 USD on a small fridge, wouldnt one expect better customer service from the manufacturer?
I had a Liebherr fridge/freezer for about ten years. It packed up so I decided to invest in another one. Bad move. We ordered a fridge/freezer and it was so noisy. Plus, on a number of occasions we thought we had closed the doors but we didnt and the freezer door doesnt have an alarm so our food had started to defrost. On our old model, the alarm went off. The shop that supplied our fridge/freezer came to inspect it and agreed it was very noisy and replaced it. The new one has exactly the same problem - its noisy - its like having a vacuum cleaner on in the corner of the kitchen. Plus, we have left the freezer door open now by mistake on at least four occasions - no alarm - I think you literally have to slam the door shut otherwise it will not close. I am so disappointed with my new Liebherr and I will never buy another product from them.
I bought Liebherr Single door refrigerator few months back and warranty expired recently. Product was not since purchased due to corona period. We were unable to use it because of lockdown. Refrigerator is still brand new but lock is coming out of the fitment. When approached customer care and service engineer they asking service charges of 650 + 200 for such a pathetic lock. Such a new item, and quality of lock is 3rd class, it is made of plastic and they dont even bother to address the issue. I strongly recommend to look at lock quality before purchase and avoid the brand in India. We have many more worthy brands like LG...
Product is value for money. Till now had a good experience this refrigerator of this to be continued worth money, good product, Need to be provide good services, the services and good but sometimes delayed.
Im using Liebherr refrigerator. Im very happy with performance....like Quality excellent, energy efficiency specially spice box, Vario safe, Vegetable sorting, cool pack, even no noice from compressor ....
The Liebherr Refrigerator water drain on the back of the fridge that is located in the non freezer section midway down the vertical fridge is not allowing the water to drain down. I have to extract the collected water by using a syringe to draw water I can every day. The fridge works fine but there are constant beepings, even when the door is closed. Today I took out the plastic trays and one had frost build up that I had to wash the frozen ice off with hot water. A service man came over a year ago and fixed the draining matter but it has returned. Any advice? Otherwise the fridge works well.
I bought a Liebherr refrigerator. It was a excellent quality and cooling through is very correctly managed. Brand said insulation and services was good responsibility. So I love the product and services.
I am the unhappy owner of a Liebherr KGT-4066 refrigerator. I bought the appliance in April of 2000 for 1300 euros thinking that I bought a first rate fridge with two motors that would last for many years. Almost immediately, the problems started. First, it was a minor problem with the thermostat, and I didnt mind so much the money the authorized technician charged me. Alas, it was only the beginning. In the years that followed, many plastic parts of the interior (drawers, baskets, trays) broke and had to be replaced, with considerable cost. Most importantly, the door seal had cracks almost from the second year but when I asked the authorized technician to replace it, he answered that it meant to replace the whole door, which cost 250 Euros! So I never replaced it. To make a long story short, although the motor still works fine, I use shelves from my old fridge and I cannot store a single bottle of water on the door shelves since there is no remaining plastic hook to hang them on. I would never recommend this fridge to anyone. It was an expensive fridge with cheap, defective plastic parts.
We have had our Liebherr refrigerator repeated every other month. Specifically, the ice machine. We could have purchased a brand new refrigerator for the same amount we have spent repairing it at this point. Bottom line..This product sucks! Buyer beware!!
Model SBS 7053, freezer + wine compartment just worked 2 years. Apparently its a bad fabrication, it has a small gas leak somewhere deep in the foam... IRREPARABLE!! Facts: 2 months after warranty time ended the compressor was running 24/24 7/7 with alarm sound and bad cold. Technical service wanted to sell expensive electronic card, but they knew it was not that of course!! I did complain. At the end Liebherr offered me a 35% discount on buying a new side by side!!!!! They dont admit its a hidden defect!! 2 years only!!!! Can you believe that?? I bought it in 2007, 2009 broken... Use refrigerator only since then. 2015 have a gas (R600a) refill with an independent technician, did work again for 24 hours.Advice Liebherrs people???? This is obviously a defective product with hidden defects. You have to give a working product, well made and in accordance with your reputation... As you dont agree to recognise it, I will continuously speak of my bad experience on social media.
This refrigerator has worked with no issues for as long as we have owned it approximately four years. My only complaint is the size which provides limited storage but this is not the fault of the unit but rather the result of living in a Condo which has restricted room.
I was aware of the brand Liebherr. Came across the brand had launched refrigerator here in India since few years. I had got good review from a friend of mine and finally got one. Good refrigerator great space, quality. Loved the product.
The 24 cannot keep a steady temp. The back wall of the No Frost freezer is thick with ice and its alarm beeps throughout the night (need to wake every 3 hours) but this is not all. Yesterday as I tried to nudge a recalcitrant freezer drawer in place with a small push, the under separation panel (made in glass!!!) jumped out to hit me and land on the floor to shatter in thousand pieces... A repair man came today and had the nerve to scold me about being too rough with the drawer. Its very sensitive you must be very careful!!! (I am in Spain where I guess they dont know about quality fridges.) Oh ya, a real beauty!
I purchased a new top-of-the-line Liebherr Refrigerator in 2011. It has been the worst purchase I have ever made. The refrigerator has started falling apart, it is so poorly made. When I called Liebherr Customer Service, I got more excuses and no help whatsoever. Time to get rid of this and get a Sub-Zero.
The Liebherr Home refrigerator is simply horrible. I strongly recommend against purchase of a Liebherr refrigerator. The inside walls get wet with moisture. It ruins your food. The refrigerator is advertised as frost free. I have never experienced this with a new refrigerator before.
You can believe me, 100 percent good product, you can buy this fridge, Liebherr is a quality product, I have purchased last year, cooling is very good. I am suggesting you to go for it. Value for money.
I purchased 2 machines (CBN 3913 and CN 4003) in Sept 2011 and they were installed in a completely renovated kitchen in Oct 2011. CBN 3913 broke down on June 17th 2014. I contacted the service immediately and got someone to see it on June 25th (the earliest possibility for them). The mechanic said the machine is beyond repair and a few days later at the end of June it was agreed that I would get a new machine at the cost of the work. I have tried to enquire a couple of times with no response. I have been in readiness for my entire vacation to let the refrigerator be installed. The heat of July has caused a lot of inconvenience with the refrigerator missing. I wonder if I will have to wait for the other one to break down and get some cheaper and longer lasting machinery instead.
I inherited a brand new Liebherr Fridge (RB1400) and Freezer/Wine Fridge combo (WF1051) with the purchase of our home in 2013. Six months after moving in was the start to the line of issues weve had with the Liebherr units: September 2013: The freezer compressor was replaced. June 2014: The freezer compressor was replaced again along with several other system components as the technician was unsure why the compressor kept going out. December 2014: the freezer ice tray cracked and broke leading to no ice. A new ice-tray kit was installed.May 2016: the door shelving unit to the refrigerator cracked and broke. After living with no door shelf for eight months, we replaced it in December 2016. January 2017: the freezer again began to show signs that it is once again going out (i.e. the wine fridge is not keeping its temperature and the temperature alarm system goes off same signs that we experienced in Sept 2013 and June 2014). The Liebherr authorized repairman many suggested that we replace the sensor. We place the order for the sensor and waited a month for the install. When installing, the repairman realized there was a leak in the evaporator which is non-repairable because it is encased in foam.After speaking with Liebherr customer service about all of my prior issues and this, there is nothing theyll do for me except give me an approximately 30% discount for a replacement. HOWEVER, Ill have to replace BOTH the refrigerator and the freezer/wine fridge combo because the new freezer/wine fridge combos are utilize a different bracket and thus are not compatible with my older (but working) model refrigerator. There is no way Im replacing both sides with a Liebherr product after all the insane issues Ive experienced. Please DO NOT purchase a Liebherr appliance unless you are willing to spend thousands of additional money and time to deal with the issues you are bound to have.
Style-wise it is good compared to other brands and performance is also very good compared to my old fridge. Everything stay fresh for long time by eco fresh technology and I 100% recommend to whoever looking to buy new refrigerator.
Advanced technology with advanced electrical temperature sensors which provide perfect cooling as per required storage. And special feature like spice box to store our spice to avoid moisture or aroma of spices.
This is my second Liebherr refrigerator after the first one lost all the Freon due to the defective lining. They use aluminum linings which are corroded very fast. They replaced it after two years of trouble. The representative of the brand in Greece made a conciliation and they proposed to sell me a new one. I paid an extra amount of 500€ to receive a newer model which was worth around 800€. Within two years the problems begun! Now it runs for an hour it hardly cools and then the motor stops and doesnt kick in again. No more expensive worthless Liebherr refrigerators for me!!!
Hi guys, LIEBHERR Refrigerator is a good brand in our India because its a Germany brand and hes cooling and hes service. I used LG and Samsung fridge but not LIEBHERR Refrigerator is best compared to others brand.
We have a brand new fully integrated Liebherr HC2062. It was installed in May 2012. It has been 3 months and we have only been able to use the freezer for less than 2 weeks. We have had 6 service calls, had leaks, recharged freon, have evaporator replaced, and the freezer is broken again. Do not buy Leibherr!
Working very good, worthy money, good product, I am using this refrigerator, is very good, very huge inside space, everything is good, I am really satisfied with this refrigerator, everything perfect. Worth money.
Refrigerator leaks water all over my food. Repairman just left after explaining that if anything touches the interior back walls of the refrigerator it will leak water. Cant be fixed. So now I have to buy a new refrigerator. Wished I had read all the negative reviews before spending the big bucks.
This is the first time we have ever written a review about a product as we are normally tolerant. Our experience with the Liebherr refrigerator has, however, been so appalling that we felt we had to write about it to warn others off. The problems we have had relate to endless issues with the ice maker, the doors not closing properly, the doors not staying open properly, the handle coming loose very early on and, more recently, the endless quantities of ice that are forming on the back wall of the fridge itself (see enclosed photo). Three months ago we were told that a seal would solve this problem and that it would take 4 to 8 weeks to deliver but we are still waiting. What is nice about the fridge is its look but to quote a well known cliche, Dont judge a book by its cover. Finally, the issues we had began just five months after buying the fridge.
Worst company ever! Sells bad units and doesnt care about their customers at all! Zero customer service and take no responsibility for their products. They dont stand behind what they sell. I paid $2800 for a 24 refrigerator and was told theyre comparable to Thermador. What a JOKE. Im stuck with a crap unit which hasnt worked for a single day and they wanna try to REPAIR IT!!! Terrible company. I should be receiving a replacement.
My wife and I bought a 24 wide x 79 tall Liebherr fridge in 2009 as we were told it was the best in that size. It was like $2800, the price of a used car I thought then. We live on a houseboat in Seattle. From the beginning we had problems - broken handles, shelves that needed mending with plexiglass and epoxy. But worst of all, we had to defrost the freezer at near weekly intervals. And the drain in the fridge compartment would freeze up or smell so horribly that we injected bleach with a syringe to keep the smell down. We are dumping this fridge (and describing its shortcomings to anyone who is foolish enough to get it) for a Bosch, which we are assured will be less challenging. Remains to be seen. I have never had a fridge this disappointing. All the others ran for years, decades even, and failed at the end of their lives - as expected. But they did not fail on a weekly basis. Best of luck to anyone who still has a Liebherr. Never again for us.
I bought a Liebherr refrigerator - CNes 4003, Index 20/001 in April 2009 and after almost 4 years, I found out that I should throw it away since the insulation at the back was destroyed and it could not be fixed. Obviously, this was the last thing I would expect to hear since I had bought this appliance for 1200 euros at the time from a trustworthy & reliable brand in order to ensure peace of mind. Luckily, my high expectations were not turned down. The customer service in Germany has confronted my case with great professionalism and in a timely manner and I was offered to exchange my appliance with a new one with similar characteristics with my refrigerator and free of charge although the warranty had expired long ago. I promised them to acknowledge their response and professionalism since I believe that apart from complaints, we should also share positive experiences and give credit to the people who are able to listen customers voice & respond with efficiency to fair requests. Mr Andreas **, Technical Manager, Refrigerators & Freezers Division, thank you again for your professionalism.
If you think you purchased quality because it is German made think it again. After 5 month back and forth with their service department and dealing with different local service representatives they sent my refrigerator still is not cooling and no one seems to care. We are using our backup refrigerator in the garage.
Liebherr side by side fridge is worthless. The first one I had did not cool and the ice maker didnt work. It also developed and awful smell. After countless repairs and a many phone calls they finally replaced it (but not without a huge fuss). THe replacement had similar issues plus the handle broke off the door, the front of the freezer drawers broke off and the drainage line was always clogged and dripping into the freezer causing ice buildup that has to be chipped off or the door wont shut. I send the repair service photographs of the broken handle which after 4 weeks with no contact said they had to reorder because it came in bent. (A solid rod of stainless steel?? I doubt it). Then they said I should fix it myself because I was a difficult customer. NEVER deal with this brand.

In summer 2008 we bought for €1500 what we thought was a state of the art built in refrigerator, the Liebherr IKB 3650. Only 3 years later - in 2011 - the door started not closing properly and cooling was poor. The local service replaced (after 3 visits) the heavy duty door hinges for €200 (past warranty period). The year after - 2012 - cooling was poor again. They came again and changed a sensor, plus check the fan, for another €70-80. It started working again somehow better. In 2013 cooling was poor again (10-12 Celsius) and they came over and over, changing more sensors, for which they did not charge spare parts, only visit labour time €40.Finally in June 2014 cooling was poor again. The local service came another 2-3 times, charging another €77 for changing a sensor and check. Nothing happened. They came back and placed a monitoring device for 3-4 days. After this they said they have to replace the motherboard (€160), which they did, yet nothing improved. Then they said they must take it to their premises and fix it and this is what we did. After 23 days (!!!) they told me its ready and I have to pay another €193 for the new compressor motor, while the appliance is totally new!!!They brought it home, it worked for 10 days and then dropped dead. They told me it is not repairable, they can only return to me the value of the latest spare parts, buy it back by offering me a discount of €600 on the price of the new model and bring me the new IKB 3550-20. Pls note that due to the built-in construction in my kitchen, I have very limited choices for a fridge. I accepted, paying the difference of €500 and today they brought it. Reading the reviews on your site, I wonder if I made a BIG MISTAKE and if I should better find and buy another brand????
Bought in Mid 2011 Large 3 door custom install. Off the hop freezer issues with frosting up. Tech made adjustments. Warranty is now over - Jan 2013. Now door hinge cylinder seal is gone too much money and currently living with it. Jan 2014 - Temp Alarm. Lost our food and had element replaced at my cost. June 2014, Ice maker isnt working and always questioned it...and the freezer is all frosted up again. Tech says $800 control board to fix plus plus plus...Havent yet had the Tech look at the compressor, Noisy! About to build my case to Liebherr but I am not holding my breath.
Two issues: The main problem is a seriously flawed design in their model RI-1400 refrigerator. A fatal flaw that they should cover as a defect and not rely on the its out of warranty gambit. The problem. Every 18-24 months the temperature sensor fails and the refrigerator becomes a freezer. Totally useless at that point.Then the real issue. They refuse to support the problem. They rely on policy that I have to work through a dealer, even though not one within 100 miles. They WILL NOT sell me the sensor, even though I know its the problem and have fixed it myself once before. They forced me to order it through a dealer and they had issues of their own. They would not give them a price until they placed an order and they would not sell to them on account - forced them to use a personal credit card! When it works, it works great. But a refrigerator that fails every 2 years - like clockwork - is no bargain. And you will be without a refrigerator for days/weeks while you work through Liebherrs anti customer service. DO NOT BUY LIEBHERR.
Liebherr looks good but thats where it stops. We purchased a new one but after over 12 trips in 1 1/2 years for diagnosis, replacement, or providing loaners - the retailer finally gave us another new one! [They had already replaced three sensors [one twice], the main module, a thermistor, the door seal, even the door {The Consumer Product Safety Commission had already faulted them for the problem}]. Well the new one started giving us problems after 18 months.The alarm would go off in the middle of the night. Nothing else appeared wrong. We called the retailer - they responded a month later. The temperatures of both the refrigerator and freezer gyrated wildly. [The digital temperatures on the top did not correspond to a refrigerator thermometer that was accurate on other devices]. Liebherr said there was nothing they could do because our warranty was over. Dont expect customer service. The refrigerator is now gone.
I bought a stand-alone Liebherr 4 drawer freezer and a Liebherr fridge in 2003/4 (12-13 years) and these have worked perfectly ever since despite never having had a service. I have had a fire in my apartment and the insurance company has written off the fridge and freezer as it would cost more to clean and test them than to buy a replacement. The kitchen was also written off in the fire so I am looking for built-in fridge and freezer for the kitchen (the stand alone units were in a utility room next to my roof terrace; useful for keeping beer cool). Because of my good experience with Liebherr I was thinking of buying this brand.As part of my search I came across the Consumeraffairs.com site with all of the negative reviews and it is certainly giving me some pause for thought. The most common fault appears to be the ice-maker which, as one respondent mentions, we in Europe seldom use. The second most common problem appears to be the doors not shutting properly, especially on the units with two doors, again something less used in Europe. I am a little more worried about the problems with ice forming at the back of the fridge, the number of components that just break, the unreliability of the temperature control and the poor response from Liebherr. Has the quality of Liebherr dropped in recent years. Have the products become more complex and therefore less reliable or is there a specific problem with US based products – I found one review from the Netherlands where I live among all of the US based complaints.
I am using Liebherr 220 Liters fridge since 8 Months, its working condition is simply Excellent. Faster cooling. Thick door Quality. Bigger vegetable box is very useful to us. I saw in other brands vegetable box is very small for storage. Easy to adjust. The shelfs are good.
I purchased a Liebherr refrigerator in December of 2017. In August of 2019, the right hand side/unit of the refrigerator stopped cooling. We had Liebherrs repair people come to our house 3 times and they called Liebherr and told them that the refrigerator is not reparable. Keep in mind Liebherr is sold in 2 units (the left unit and the right unit). Debbie from Liebherr called me and said that they will replace the unit. I questioned Debbie and said the unit or the whole refrigerator and she said the whole refrigerator. I said to Debbie...thank you and she responded Liebherr really stands behind their products. She told me that Liebherr will ship the replacement to their installer and the installer will call me to set up an appointment to install the replacement. All seemed great at this point.The installer (Almo) came and replaced the refrigerator on 9/17/19. I know we are now in mid September from when the refrigerator stopped working at the beginning of August. When I came home to see the replacement, Almo only replaced the right side or unit of the refrigerator and it is completely different from the left side of the refrigerator. Below are the differences (remember this is 1 refrigerator): 1. The replacement unit has two drawers (original unit only had 1), the back panel is stainless steel (the original (right side back panel is white), the drawers are blue (left side) (right side are clear drawers) and the shelves on the replacement unit is totally different with thicker shelving (metal holders).2. The original freezer is completely different too. In our original unit (right side), the ice dispenser had two drawers - one draw that had the ice made and then we would pour it to the other draw to fill up. The replacement is only 1 drawer that makes the ice.As you can tell, I was very upset. I proceeded to call Almo and spoke to Katelyn. I sent Katelyn an email with pictures of how different the 2 sides of my 1 refrigerator is. She said, Wow they are totally different. I said, I know. She said that shell look into it and get back to me. I then received a call from Miguel at Liebherr who said that he makes all the decisions at Liebherr and they will not replace the left side/unit to match the replacement (right side/unit) piece. He said that my model was discontinued because they upgraded it and if I want the 2 units to match then I will have to purchase the left side/unit. I proceeded to tell him that its not my fault that the refrigerator broke and its not my fault that they upgraded and the upgrade does not match my older model (only 1.5 years old). He said that they do not care if it is not aesthetically pleasing on the inside. They replaced the unit that broke and they will not do anymore.I asked if I can speak with his manager and he said that he does not report to anyone. I guess the Liebherr family does not realize that Miguel is the new CEO. I keep replaying in my head what Debbie said....Liebherr stands behind their products. If they stood behind their products they would have replaced the entire refrigerator. I spent about $7k on this refrigerator and it shouldnt have broke/stopped cooling after 1.5 years. Liebherr DOES NOT stand behind their products! I will NEVER, NEVER buy a Libherr product again and you shouldnt either!
This refrigerator has been constant trouble. Ive owned it for 4 years and 3 months and in that time Ive had 9 service calls (6 for refrigerator problems & 3 for the replacement of the original French doors that didnt close correctly and a seal replacement.) On top of that, I have a wood floor in my kitchen and this appliance is built in. Every time it has to be serviced, it has to be removed from the cabinet carefully so the floor is not damaged. When I bought it, I expected I would not have to remove it for a good 15-20 years, until I had to buy a new refrig. But after owning this for just a few months, the refrigerator stopped working and I needed a new compressor. It took the service company 3 visits and multiple hours to determine this. I was without a fridge for more than 2 weeks. When I asked the company to pay me back for the lost food, I was told they didnt do that. Now, I need a second new compressor and despite the fact that it was put in last Friday, the refrigerator is still not working. 10 days after I called, I am waiting for another part that hopefully will make this big boy work. Again, no refrigerator for 1 1/2 weeks. The Scottsdale service rep (Jerry) blamed the repair people (who were doing their best to figure out what was wrong) and he never apologized to me for any inconvenience when I spoke to him. His attitude was rude and unhelpful. He told the service people that I was very close to the end of the 5 year sealed system warranty anyway. He did agree to pay for the part. I asked him if I had a lemon or if all Liebherrs were like this. He was evasive and attitude and told me there was nothing more he could do other than call Germany! This refrigerator was expensive, but its been a constant aggravation and I would never buy another one. When it dies, as Im sure it will in the not too distant future, Im going to spend the additional money and get a Sub-Zero.
In July of 2014, the ice maker on my Liebherr stopped working. Annoying, but not unexpected. I just let it go. Then, not two months later, the freezer stopped working. Had a Liebherr referred repairman out to determine the temperature sensor was no longer working. As of now (November!), still no parts, no sign of parts, and now the refrigerator is not working. Liebherr has been HORRIBLE in trying to resolve this issue. Im selling the house and am ending up having to purchase a brand new unit. Liebherr, never again!
Liebherr having the best quality refrigerator available in market. Build quality is so good. I bought 346 ltr ref. This model is having some unique feature like ice twist, cool pack. The top most feature is spice boxes which make it different from other brand. We can store spices also in this refrigerator. Top quality material is used to make this ref.
I have bought several Liebherr refrigerators, including two model 1360s. Both have had sealed unit problems that have prevented the units from cooling. Each time, I have had to call service people recommended by the national Liebherr office in Arizona. Each time it has taken weeks to get service and several times the service people do not show up. When they do, they say that it is a sealed system issue and that they cannot fix it. Then, I get another service recommendation from the Arizona office-- someone supposedly qualified to service a sealed system. And, ultimately, usually after several additional weeks or even months, the next service company comes out to see the unit and also notes that it is a sealed system problem, that Liebherr will not authorize them to service and that the unit must be replaced. Then, with the unit still under warranty, Liebherr ultimately calls someone to replace the unit, but this again takes months. I have dealt with 5 different service companies on these refrigerators, all of whom have expressed frustration with the Liebherr process. When I had my latest issue with a Liebherr 1360, two of the companies I had dealt with previously, including the company that replaced the last 1360, said that they will not do Liebherr work anymore and refused to come out. These two companies were still on the list of contractors recommended by the Liebherr Arizona office. This is a bad refrigerator with obvious design problems and the Liebherr repair and warranty network is extremely slow and frustrating to deal with. It seems that the strategy is always to require someone additional to come out to look at the unit while not authorizing anyone to do a repair on some defective component of the sealed compressor system. Stay away from Liebherr.
My experience was so different from what Im reading that Im compelled to comment. My model 1311, 24 wide with no ice maker, purchased in 2009, started beeping and stopped cooling seven years after I bought it. I would give it 5 stars, but seven years does seem like a short life for a fridge. As I wondered if it was covered by the limited extended 7-12 year warranty, I emailed the address given, asking how they could service a fridge in Vancouver, Canada, when they are in Ontario. They sent me the phone number of a local service person, said he would know if it was covered by warranty. Service person declared it unrepairable, said the company would phone me in a week about replacing the fridge, as it was covered by the warranty. They phoned in a week, and have replaced the fridge. The installer said that all the problems have been with the first generation models, and the new models seem to have the kinks worked out.
New ref CS-1200 delivered 6/14, refrigerator stopped working 8/14, service company fixed 2 months later (part was back ordered), broke down again 2 weeks later, took 2 more weeks and still does not work. Customer service at Liebherr is terrible. They screwed up my address which delayed service, their parts always seem to be on back order, they dont follow up. I have been waiting for a supervisor to contact me for a month. Now when I call customer service, they hang up and was told not to call again. Ref is under warranty and has not worked. The servicing company no longer wants to deal with Liebherr because their customer service is so bad. I really liked the ref when I ordered it but since it doesnt work and their customer service is so bad and the servicing company doesnt want to service Liebherr anymore I would think twice before purchasing.
I am so disappointed with my Liebherr refrigerator. I purchased it in 2008 and expected it to perform as it was advertised. Since purchase the ice maker no longer works, the side panel refrigerator shelving pulled off and broke, the back of the refrigerator is icing, the vegetable and meat drawers fill with water, and - last straw - the door handle broke off! Poor manufacturing and substandard materials completely negate the refrigerators convenient sizing. I feel foolish for paying so much for this carelessly made train wreck.
IKB 3650 - I see Ive joined the Liebherr fan club. Ive also thought that buying a state of the art fridge is the technical and financial solution for many years. It became a technical and financial challenge for many years now. It also began shortly after warranty expiry date. It started to build up ice on the back plate and in the Biofresh zone. The temperature lowered to minimum (4 deg. C). No matter what I did it fell to minimum. The service team changed the NTC-sensor, charged 40 and good luck. In three years this happened four times. Also the door hinge damper loosened and doesnt do its job anymore. My SWMBO found out a trick. If the fridge is off for a couple of hours, then after she switches it on, it worked maybe for a week or so. But its an old trick and like all old tricks, its also not working anymore. Im guilty for buying the expensive piece of kitchen appliance, I hear every day. So all good men. Eliminate at least one reason for anger and dont buy the fancy Liebherr.
I have purchased a LIEBHERR single door refrigerator in August 2018. I thought that it is a new company. But while enquiring it is understood that it is it is a German refrigeration company with more than 65 years of experience. I took a chance and purchased it from their authorised dealer at Trivandrum. Till now product is working good and stuffed food is always fresh. Especially they are sending engineers for giving demo and clearly explained about the usages. Thank you Liebherr.
Ice maker has never worked. The drain in fridge is always clogged causing smelly back-up. Water runs down the back of fridge causing everything to be wet inside. All the labels even fell off our beer bottles from always being wet. Also, fridge not cold enough. The freezer stopped working while we were on vacay and when they finally came to fix it, now the fridge is broken too after they left. Thank goodness for my very cheap Frigidaire brand fridge in the garage. It works and saved our food from spoiling again. DO NOT EVER BUY A LIEBHERR refrigerator. You will be sorry.
The 24 Liebherr refrigerator that came with the apartment I purchased is a piece of junk! It was just about 5 years old when the original owner paid over $600 in repair costs over 2 repair visits... Just a few months later I needed to replace the sensor for another $500. Now it is only 2 months later and once again the refrigerator is not maintaining cold temperature. I refuse to put another nickel into this terrible appliance and will have to replace it. Liebherr service was not at all accommodating! All they were willing to do was give me the names of authorized service companies which charge $200 just to walk in the door.
I came to know about Liebherr refrigerator from a close friend. Liebherr refrigerator is one of the best refrigerator which I had come across. I have been using since 3months. Top quality and accurate cooling.
I purchased 1 year back and technology very nice experience. Its noiseless and very much satisfied. Duo cooling Technology very cool feature. I am suggesting my friends and family members to buy this one to experience world class technology in refrigerator.
My refrigerator developed some problems, which I accept. However, because it was out of warranty, the appliance store would not service it. None of the local repairers would work on a Liebherr, and the main customer service at Liebherr couldnt provide a service rep for the entire Olympic Peninsula! What good is a refrigerator that cant be serviced? Liebherr has not developed adequate service coverage. They shouldnt sell equipment that they cant assure service.
We purchased the CS 20 7081 407-00 in November of 2010. Since that time, the ice maker has broken twice. The first time, the unit was under warranty and was replaced quickly. At the time the ice maker was replaced, the technician mentioned that the units were not well engineered and were a constant repair issue. Now we are out of warranty and face the repair bills for a piece of equipment that is poorly engineered and will surely break again. Dont buy this fridge with the ice maker, it will break and you will ultimately be stuck with the repair bills.
After three years our Liebherr fridge freezer became unreliable in that the temperature of fridge varied between 8 degrees and ambient temperature. Apparently oil (or water?) had been drawn into the compressor, caused by power cuts (we live in a rural area). Repairs were in the region of 600. Liebherr originally offered to pay 50% of the parts but this only amounted to about 150 and we couldnt afford the rest. We managed to get the insurance to cough up after being without fridge freezer for 3 months, and decided to accept Liebherrs offer to offset future raise in premium. However they took advantage of the fact that we had insurance and declined to pay. DONT BUY THIS IF YOU ARE LIKELY TO SUFFER A POWER CUT! Apparently they are VERY sensitive!
We bought the Liebherr when we were renovating our kitchen in 2009. I just opened the site to see how to make the freezer stop beeping. I was not surprised to see that we experienced just about every complaint in the recent postings. We had the second authorized repairman 8 times. I could not find the paperwork for the first repairman. Our first complaint when the refrigerator arrived was the pokey ice production. Our dealer contacted Liebherr and was told that Europeans dont use as much ice as Americans. That was a stunning reply since I bought in the US. Then we started having constant problems with the French doors closing. We had many visits from the first repairman, after which the second repairman , who seemed more knowledgeable, repaired the doors. We had to have the suction trim replaced. We also had a problem with the back of the refrigerator freezing, clogging the drain. The two drawers filled with water and the fresh produce kept freezing. The refrigerator has been a huge disappointment. From our experience, I would never recommend this refrigerator. My husband & I recall our parents having the same refrigerator for our entire childhoods. Those days are surely long gone.
I bought Liebherr fridge in 2018..346l blue colour... Its really cool looking and good for modular kitchen... I recommend everyone to buy this fridge... But dont worry about reviews.. This is really best product.
In 16/09/2010 - 4 years ago I purchased SBSes 7353 Premium BioFresh NoFrost Liebherr Refrigerator. I knew (I thought) that it is very high quality and user friendly. And despite the high price relative to other brands I bought it. But week ago the BioFresh began to lose temperature. I called to local service and technician comes to check it. As he says there is a gas leak in the pipe located in the refrigerator body. And there is no way to fix it. The only option is exchange whole side (BioFresh and Freezer). And I need to buy it, which is half of whole refrigerator price that is only $1400! Another words after 4 years of use I need to buy new refrigerator!!! After that no response from customer service. No response for mails.
I buy Liebherr fridge 2022 January red colour first. I think new brand wired but product after service but after sales and service good, product also excellent, this is my 2nd fridge compare with my old fridge. This is excellent space and adjustment, big vegetable box. Good product given by Liebherr.
We bought our Liebherr refrigerator freezer when we built our home in 2012. It was a very expensive refrigerator that we thought would complement our high end kitchen well. We had this refrigerator “built in” with a cabinet exterior. Needless to say this refrigerator has been nothing but problems almost from day one. The ice maker when it did work produced only about a dozen of the tiniest little ice cubes about every 24 hours which is not even remotely the amount we use on a daily basis. We had technicians out several times to try to improve production but it never helped. We ended up disconnecting the ice maker years ago as it was more trouble than it was worth.We have since been struggling with the two lower freezer compartments that barely keep items even half frozen. If you put ice cream in it you will have a soupy mess. The freezer alarm goes off constantly to let you know the freezer compartments are not at freezer temperature which usually occurs in the middle of the night or when we have come back from a few days away. We have finally made the decision to do full research on a replacement refrigerator freezer and pull the plug literally on our Liebherr. It is not worth the trouble any longer, unfortunately it was a built-in model so it may be a little difficult to find a close fit. My advice to anyone is avoid purchasing a Liebherr refrigerator.
I have purchased 2 Liebherr fridges from Pittappillil Mavelikkara branch on last year. I am so impressed and I suggested the product to my friends and relatives. Especially they are sending their engineers for giving demo and clearly explained about the usages. Everything was coordinated by Mr. ** the Assistant Manager from Pittappillil, he was so helpful and professional to us.
We bought a Liebherr split door refrigerator/freezer (2 drawers) about 8 years ago. Nothing but a headache. The fridge is fine but the ice maker function has been impossible. It was replaced about 6 times in the first couple of years. Now it is broken and impossible to get the parts needed to fix it. The glass shelf on the left door just fell and broke on its own. Service for these units is difficult to find, expensive, and replacement parts seem nonexistent. Purchase a fridge that can be serviced and maintained more easily. Expensive appliance that is nearly impossible to fix.
Our experience with Liebherr Refrigerator has been appalling to say the least. We moved into our new house in 2004 and I would think on average the fridge has broken down every three years. The temperature dial for the fridge keeps going haywire. And of course it is always just out of warranty when this happens. Its cost us a small fortune getting it repaired and not to mention the really stressful situations this causes when it happens again and again. I find the suppliers/service people here in Ireland totally inadequate in their response. I dont think once I got an apology from them for all the stress their product has caused. I would not touch any Liebherr product ever again and would advise anybody to run a million miles from them also.
Model HC 2062, purchased in 2012, is a nice size, double doors, 2 freezer doors below, overall a nice design. We first became annoyed when the ice maker would not keep up with demand. Just after the 2-year warranty expired, the guts of the ice maker fell into the ice tray. $250 for replacement parts & labor (10 minutes). The explanation of what caused the damage is unbelievable. If you happen to open the freezer drawer when the ice reader is engaged, you can pull the guts out, which is exactly what happened. The air filter light has been on for 9 months, but its totally inaccessible unless you are good at lying on the floor and holding a screwdriver with your teeth. High-price fridge for inducing a regular headache.
We bought a Liebherr refrigerator for a house we were building in Nicaragua. With our 20 ceilings I loved the height. The thin plastic drawers broke immediately. Then the rest started failing. The cover of the manual had one warranty period. In small print inside they had a much shorter period. I waited to repair it as I thought I had years. Wrong. We just replaced the 3 years old refrigerator with one that cost less than the last three years of repairs. Of course we will have to spend some on cabinetry because the new refrigerator is shorter. In the 20 years of our SubZero we spent less than 2 years of the Liebherr. We waited so long for repairs that we bought a second refrigerator to substitute. The Liebherr was purchased in Nicaragua, at a top kitchen dealer.
Terrible terrible terrible. Two times I was fooled purchasing their refrigerators, no one helps you, no service, just the worst. Im out hundreds in food & service techs. Please, redo your kitchen if you must, DO NOT PURCHASE, ever!
I have purchased the Liebherr 346 ltr double door fridge from Croma Mumbai (based on their recommendation) on 2.8.19. As I have full respect of German Engineering, I purchased it. The fridge was working fine but since mid Dec 2019 (ie. after only 3.5 months) the trouble started. I have not changed any control yet the freezer started forming frost (in a frost free refrigerator). Above all the bottom chamber stopped cooling (for which I had to throw away lots of expensive food items).Technician came and said that due to ice formation the fan on the bottom food section stopped and hence it was not cooling. He used a blower to melt the ice blocking the fan (perhaps) and adjusted temperature and fridge started working, but the food section was not cooling that well it used to. Today I have raised yet another complaint as the bottom food section stopped cooling again and upper freezer section is forming frost and ice as usual. I dont know when I will come out of this ordeal.... What an excellent German Technology I got!!! Not. I am waiting for the technician to visit me, till then I go for another round of expensive food waste.... Cheers!
Why would anyone choose to buy these expensive contraptions? Liebherr website offers no possibility to register a complaint or ask for help... other than through the service people who in this case are part of the problem. Six weeks without a functioning refrigerator last summer... and no response much less remedial action!!! We naively asked Liebherr via service-appliances.us@liebherr.com (repeatedly) and via team.online team.online@liebherr.com or any suggestions on how to avoid these problems... or at least have them fixed much faster and reasonably. The house we bought a year ago in Washington DC came with a three-piece Liehberr appliance: refrigerator, freezer and wine cooler. So far the only one that has worked well is the least useful one the wine cooler. Please escalate this because it must not be a normal situation... otherwise why would anyone would buy a Liebherr refrigerator? If our problems are not fixed definitively I will certainly be speaking loudly and negatively about Liehberr. Soon after we moved in the refrigerator (a large premium unit serial number 40168030909984 and service ref. **) became a freezer -- resulting a wastage of food and the separate freezer stopped producing ice. A repairman from M&M came promptly diagnosed a sensor problem for the refrigerator -- ordered the part (which took weeks to arrive) and then returned to fix the problem (two service calls and parts charged, of course).The same problem occurred nine months later. The refrigerator froze our food, the repairman came, charged to diagnose a sensor problem, ordered the part and we have had two missed appointments to install it (once they came within the agreed time window but without the promised 30 minute warning and missed us; the second time -- a week later -- they called within the agreed window... just to say that there was an emergency and they would not be able to come for another week!). So the refrigerator is prone to problems and the maintenance system seems to boil down to just one person who handles Liebherr and a company that never has any parts in stock. As for the freezer the solution seemed quite involved and expensive and we decided not to bother (...again, what does this say about Liebherr products and service?)
I bought the new Liebherr refrigerator in Mumbai. Living with my husband and we are a family of 2. We bought the Liebherr TCR2640 from Vijay Sales Navi Mumbai. Its been a month of use and we are delighted to have taken the decision of buying it. Its vegetable sorter system and spice box is something no other fridge was offering to me, I needed space for my masalas and I needed space for my veggies since I love cooking. They really understood the practical needs of using the refrigerator which is why we bought it. The service was quick and we certainly had an easy installation. Did I mention the red color looks nice and different. Go for it if you want space. Its your best decision.
After around 7 service calls, I gave up. No longer use the ice maker. Now for some reason, my freezer gave up. I have only owned it since 2007. For an expensive appliance, it is a huge disappointment.
Our refrigerator is just 3.5 years old and our freezer has not working for the past three months. We have been very patient, and I called Liebherr today to try to get some kind of information as to how to move this along, as we need a freezer. All Liebherr kept saying is our product is out of the two-year warranty. Liebherr pushed me to where I bought it, and the appliance center told me to contact Liebherr. On top of the fact, no service person will work on a Liebherr. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY, this is not a top of the line, or high-end product, just collecting your money. NO CUSTOMER SERVICE.
My husband and I won 2007 Obie award for Best Kitchen remodel in Georgia. The Liebherr fit my requirements inside and held the decorative panels on the outside. Almost immediately we had problems the other consumers had. Ice maker has broken down twice after 2 years of usage... $900 replacement. The so called cooler unit freezes up and once or more a year I get to defrost the ice in the back. It constantly drips inside the refrig. unit thus having to wet vacuum the bottom to get out the water. Liebherr refused to acknowledge all my problems. A technician was sent out and he couldnt adjust any temperature to make things any better. You can believe that my customers know never to buy this for their kitchen. It is sweating so much inside now that I believe it is on its last leg.
The ice maker on my Liebherr fridge stopped working a few weeks ago. The technician from Electra the agent for Liebherr in Israel diagnosed the problem and told me that for the parts and labor it would cost NIS2000 ($600) to do the repair work. I wrote an email to Liebherr Germany to tell them that I had sourced the same parts from their distributor in Holland at 50% of the price quoted in Israel. Germany sent a mail to Electra the Israel distributor and a few days later Electra called me to say that they would reduce the price of the parts to NIS1470 ($400). I subsequently brought the parts from Holland and had my own fridge mechanic do the repairs. He found that only 1 small part which costs NIS150 ($40) needed replacing as all the other parts which the Electra technician had said needed replacing were all in perfect working order.
This refrigerator has destroyed more food than the plague. It has the hardest time closing and it turns off if the door censors indicate the door isnt closed. Several times, I have not been home for days and I get home and everything in the Liebherr refrigerator is rotten, lost, defrosted, warm, in shape to throw out. Resetting the temperature to get it to work is as easy as launching the space shuttle. One almost needs to be an electrical engineer to re-set the temperature settings. I tried to print out the manual from their site and I have 21 pages of gibberish. I still havent been able to turn the freezer back on and I am not sure the refrigerator is working yet, as I type. If I wasnt a renter, I would get a new unit, but not a Liebherr. I have lost over $500 of food in the freezer. I guess I was stupid enough to fill it after losing everything before. If you buy one of their units, you are crazy.
We paid over 1200 for the stainless steel Liebherr Fridge Freezer. What a BIG MISTAKE! We have had problems from the very start. The lights did not work then the door would not shut properly. A year after purchase the ice kept collecting and the fan made a horrendous grating sound. We have had the engineer over at least 5 to 6 times since we bought the beast! And at what a cost. It is outside the guarantee and warranty period and now constantly the Alarm keeps going off in the Ice compartment. I have to try and press the fast freeze or the Alarm buttons constantly to stop the horrible sound! Interrupted sleep every night! NEVER EVER WILL WE RECOMMEND OR BUY LIEBHERR! A WASTE OF MONEY AND UTTERLY USELESS! We had a Westinghouse before that for many many years...The only trouble we had was the light bulb change once! Eventually got tired with it and changed to Liebherr! WHAT AN EXPENSIVE ERROR! Please dont ever make the mistake that we have. The constant call outs have cost an arm and a leg! AND Liebherr....Customer service!! not sure why they call it that ....WHAT SERVICE #? They dont give a damn. Only want to make money by sending out expensive engineers who will rip you off and the problem reoccurs after a while.
Dont make the mistake of buying a Liebherr Refrigerator from Alpine Appliance in Vail, CO. Alpine service and understanding of these refrigerators is embarrassingly poor. First and foremost, in the context of Liebherr quality, I can safely and confidently say that Liebherr cannot be talked about in the same sentence as Sub-Zero. I now I understand why Liebherr is significantly less expensive, because it should be! I must respectfully ask how can you comment on the quality of Liebherr when you yourself and your service staff did not know that this model was not self-closing; additionally your service person told me that fridge always rocks until you fill it up, yet the other day he found out for the first time there was something he had not learned or done that would have prevented the fridge from rocking. What I found funny is that your service guys replaced a part to eliminate the rock, which obviously was both unnecessary and unexplainable.At a minimum, isnt your job to teach your service guys how to properly install a refrigerator you sell and so call service. Your email response albeit appreciated was condescending at best but very consistent with the quality of your service, so not surprising. Your one service guy was blown away when he called Liebherr tech support only to learn that this model is not self-closing! His exact words were there are $500 refrigerators that have this most basic feature. On a positive note, the refrigerator does keep food cold and fresh which a guess is a positive.
I bought a Liebherr refrigerator. It was a excellent quality and cooling through is very correctly managed. Brand said insulation and services was good responsibility. So I love the product and services.
Purchased both units (Built in refrigerator and freezer) in December of 2011. Problems started right away with inconsistent temperatures in the refrigerator, after service calls it was never resolved. We bought a 5 year extended warranty for both machines, it is a good thing we did. Now three years later the freezer ice maker has been replaced and I am sure it will need to be again. The refrigerator has never cooled properly but as of late forms heavy ice on the back to a point that the drawers cannot close which means that the door will not close. After several service calls the ice problem may be resolved but the inside temperature is now never higher 30 degrees f., and you cannot turn it off. If you want it to stop you must unplug it, no small task with a built in. After living with these very badly built machines for the last three years I truly believe that the only place that you will get less for your money is with a speeding ticket. Having owned Sub Zero for many trouble free years in the past, I can assure you that they will get our business next time.
Product quality is best. Moon cut shelves and spice boxes are very useful and unique, no other brand have features like this. Nothing is bad but out of metro cities there is no any awareness of this brand.
Brought this brand refrigerator 6 months back and this refrigerator performance was excellent and other features like spice box is very much useful to keep spices and storage of milk products separate compartment.
A good Refrigerator in term of cooling performance, extended food life with accurate temperature, Best built quality and Nice design... I highly recommend this brand because of quality assurance and It gave opportunity to feel Premium inner interior.
I bought a new Liebherr refrigerator and it never cools right in the fridge compartment. I had service 7 times and the same answer - it all checks out OK, but the box is 48-52 degrees. Not sure why? I called the company and the manager. No return call. Beware, dont buy one. A lot of money, no service and mine never worked.
The last time that happened, in January 2021, I was no longer able to resurrect the IceMaker. So I called a Technical Service, the next day a technician came, made a series of checks and determined that the fault was in the electronic board that did not give voltage to the mini-pump that supplied water to the ice bucket. As I am trained in industrial electronics, I disassembled that board, and made a magnifying glass inspection. The board appeared to be fine, with SMD components, and no components were burned. It was also varnished which made it resist moisture well. The technician sent me a budget amounting to € 250. This was not an exorbitant price to change a plate at home, but at a glance, that plate did not cost more than € 80 COST. It is already known that later prices increase with transport, working hours, travel, etc. (they charge between € 50 and € 60 per hour). What I already questioned was if the problem was with the plate. I then called another Official Service recommended by Liebherr. That technician started looking at the upper reservoir, as he said he doubted the plate was to blame. Looking a little over that reservoir (which includes the mini-pump), he determined that it needed to be replaced. He budgeted me € 425 for the repair, since to replace that tank the refrigerator had to be removed - it is paneled - between two technicians and therefore the labor became more expensive. As I am quite skilled, I disassembled the tank myself (which the technician did not do), removed the pump, disassembled it and saw that the little motor, which does not cost even 3 € in China, had the shaft stuck. I unhooked it and reassembled the pump. I mounted the tank, and the Ice Maker worked again. Seeing the reference of the mini-pump, searching the Internet, it appeared that it was made in China (of course) AND IT COSTS € 16. In other words, the Technical Service should know that replacing the € 16 pump does not require more than half an hour, it is not necessary to remove the refrigerator, and it would have cost me about € 150 instead of € 425. So it seems that the seminars of Training of these technicians leaves much to be desired.
Do not buy one of these refrigerators (Liebherr CS1350). My experience has been a nightmare. We cannot find anyone to work on these and we have been without our ice maker for 6 months. Sears even came out and said they could not work on this companys equipment. I am talking about Sears, the appliance store of all times. Why have one if you cannot get fixed???
Really satisfied by the product and service. I bought a refrigerator few months back, worth each penny. So far no complaints I also got it in a better market price. However, I think new technology can be applied to these products.
We bought a Liebherr double door refrigerator in Oct. 2018. Just after 2 and half years, there was an issue with cooling. It was found that there is gas leak from three places. We had to pay to refill the gas, much expensive than other brands. After paying for the repairs, we get only 3 months warranty. Overall, the experience was bad and stressful.
