What DemoMode
actually means.
Liebherr’s DemoMode is meant for presenting an appliance at shows or in salesrooms. On Monolith columns, turning it on switches the cooling circuit off, so a freezer left in this mode will warm up even though the display looks normal.

What to do when DemoMode shows on the freezerKind of codeMode, not a failure
A setting the freezer was put into, often by accident or by the store it came from, rather than a part that broke: a showroom or demo mode that lights the display while the compressor stays off, a fast freeze left running for days, a Sabbath setting that silences the alarms, a control lock, a door alarm reminding you the door stood open. Nothing has worn out, and the freezer's own buttons or manual put it back.
Usually leads toNo repair
If food is inside and the freezer feels warm, move it to another freezer or a cooler with ice right away.
Shows up asStandalone Freezer Not Freezing
A standalone freezer not freezing shows it on a thermometer long before the food goes soft: packages give under your thumb, a tub of stock is slush at the center, and the cabinet air feels cool rather than biting.

Before you book,
in this order.
Each step comes from Liebherr's own guidance for DemoMode on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.
If food is inside and the freezer feels warm, move it to another freezer or a cooler with ice right away.
Turn DemoMode off through the settings menu; on Monolith, Liebherr has you enter code 151 to deactivate it.
Check after a few hours that the temperature is falling, and book a visit if it does not.
Cleared?
The freezer is holding its temperature again and no part had to be replaced. If the same code comes back within a few days, or the packages start to soften again, book it as a fresh problem.
What not to do
DemoMode is not a broken compressor, even though the result, a warm freezer, looks the same. It is also not SabbathMode, which keeps cooling and only disables alarms and lights.

Still showing DemoMode?
Book with the code or the alarm pattern written exactly as the freezer shows it, the full model number, and whether the food is still frozen hard — when there is a code, that is where the diagnosis starts.
