Liebherr Essential Troubleshooting Tips for Refrigerators

Interior light* Troubleshooting

This switches off automatically after the door has been opened for approx. 15 minutes. If it does not switch on when the door is opened briefly, but the temperature setting dis- play is working, the interior light may be defective.

Replacing the bulb*:

W Bulb data: max. 25 W; current and voltage must agree with the details on the type plate. Only use bulbs of the same size. Bulb fitting: E 14.

W Switch off the appliance. Disconnect from the mains or remove or unscrew the fuse.

W Press the light cover together at the sides as in fig. F1 (1). Lift it out and unclip at back (2).

W Replace the bulb as in fig. F2. To counteract the friction seal, turn with slightly more pressure. When inserting, en- sure that the seal is properly in place in the lamp socket.

W Clip the back end of the cover in and clip the sides into place.

Changing the lighting unit*:

Caution - class 1M laser radiation. When cover is removed, do not look directly at light through optical instruments.

The lighting unit 2, dissipator with light emitting diode (LED), is available from your dealer.

W Switch off the appliance. Disconnect from the mains or remove or unscrew the fuse.

W Fig. F3: Press the bulb cover 1 against the compartment roof 1 and release by pulling forwards 2.

W Fig. F4: Unscrew the lighting unit 2 and loosen the cable connector 3.

W Re-assemble with new lighting unit 2, working in reverse order.

Your appliance is designed and manufactured for a long life
span and reliable operation.
If a malfunction nonetheless occurs during operation, check
whether it is due to an operating error. Please note that even
during the warranty period the resultant servicing costs in
this case will have to be borne by the owner.
You may be able to rectify the following faults by checking
the possible causes yourself:
Malfunction	Possible cause and remedy

_______________________________________________

Appliance does not work, display is off - Is the appliance switched on properly?

- Is the mains plug properly inserted in the socket? - Is the socket fuse intact?

The interior light does not come on - Is the appliance switched on?

- Has the door been open for more than 15 minutes?

- The bulb/lighting unit* is defective. Change the bulb/light- ing unit* as described in "Interior light".

Loud running noise

- Is the appliance standing firmly on the floor, or does the compressor cause nearby items of furniture or objects to vibrate? If necessary, move the appliance slightly, align by adjusting the adjustable feet, or move bottles and contain- ers apart.

- Burbling noises are normal. These are caused by the refrigerant flowing round the refrigerant circuit.

A short clicking sound: This will be heard whenever the refrigeration unit (the motor) switches on or off automati- cally.

Motor noise: This will be slightly louder for a brief period when the refrigeration unit switches on.

The audible warning signal sounds

- Is the appliance closed properly? Check the appliance as described in "Audible warning signal".

The temperature is not cold enough

- Is the temperature setting correct? If necessary, set a lower temperature and check the display after 24 hours.

- Does the door close properly?

- Is the appliance sufficiently well ventilated? Clear ventilation grilles if necessary.

- Is the ambient temperature too hot? (See "Safety regula- tions")

- Has the appliance been opened too often or left open too long?

- If applicable, wait until the appliance reaches the required temperature itself.

Customer service and type plate

If none of the above causes apply and you cannot rectify the fault yourself, or if the temperature display reads "F 0" to "F 5", this means that there is a fault. Please contact your nearest customer ser-vice department (see enclosed list for addresses), indicating the fault number

and the type designation 1,

service number 2 and appliance number 3

on the type plate. This will help us

to provide you with a faster and more accurate service. The type

plate is located on the inside left of the appliance next to the bottom

BioFresh drawer.

Leave the appliance shut until the customer service engineer arrives so as to prevent any further cold loss.
