On Touch & Swipe freezers, the Error warning appears when a module in the appliance reports an error. Touching the display reveals an error code; Liebherr asks you to write it down and does not publish what each number means. Liebherr freezer display What to do when Error shows on the freezer ### Kind of code Control board and communication The boards that run the freezer stopped talking to each other, or one of them failed: the main control lost the display panel, or a board reported a problem of its own. A connector loosened by a move and a harness damp from condensation are checked before a board is ordered by model number. Built-in columns and undercounter freezers lean on their electronics more than a basic chest freezer does. ### Usually leads to Freezer control board and alarm repair Repairing the electronic control, display, door switch and sensors that run a modern freezer, including a temperature alarm that sounds without reason or never sounds at all. ### Shows up as Freezer Error Code A freezer error code appears on the display: letters and digits, a flashing temperature, or a warning symbol, sometimes with an alarm and sometimes with the freezer still running. ### Make Liebherr Liebherr freezers repaired in the home when the cabinet warms, the alarm sounds or frost builds up. ### Source Liebherr operating instructions, SF5291 freestanding freezer (OI SFNsth 529i) SF5291, SIF5181 and UF3651 with the Touch & Swipe display. The numeric error codes behind the message are not published in the owner documents. ## Before you book, in this order. Each step comes from Liebherr's own guidance for Error on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit. 01 Touch the display to show the error code and write it down exactly. 02 Touch the display again to return to the status screen, and check that the freezer temperature is holding. 03 Book a visit and give the code, so the technician can look it up before coming out. ### Still there? It usually turns into [freezer control board and alarm repair](https://freezerrepair.center/services/control-board-and-alarm-repair/). Book with the code and the model number. ### What not to do The Error message is not a temperature or door warning; those have their own messages.

Touch the display to show the error code and write it down exactly. If it comes back, it needs a visit. ### Where do I find the meaning of my Liebherr freezer error code? The owner instructions do not list them. Write the code down and pass it on when you book, since the meaning depends on the module that reported it. ### Can I keep using my Liebherr freezer with an Error message? Usually yes, as long as the temperature holds. Check it with a thermometer until a technician has read the code. ### Will unplugging my Liebherr clear the Error message? It may disappear for a while, but a real module problem will report again. Write the code down first so it is not lost. --- **[Read on the site: Liebherr Error message: a module inside the freezer reported a problem](https://freezerrepair.center/error-codes/liebherr-error/)** **[Book a visit with FreezerRepair.center](https://freezerrepair.center/schedule/)**
