# Liebherr Temperature alarm: the freezer is off its set temperature

On current Liebherr freezers with the touch display, Temperature alarm appears when the freezing temperature does not match the setting.

## What Temperature alarm actually means.

On current Liebherr freezers with the touch display, Temperature alarm appears when the freezing temperature does not match the setting. The display can also show the warmest temperature reached, and Liebherr uses 16°F (−9°C) as the line: below it the food can still be eaten, above it you should check the food.

What to do when Temperature alarm shows on the freezer

### Kind of code Temperature and alarms

The freezer measured a cabinet warmer than it should be and said so, sometimes with the highest temperature it reached while nobody was looking. The cause can be as simple as a door left ajar or a long power outage, or as serious as a compressor that stopped. Keep the door or the lid shut and check whether the food is still hard before anything else; the alarm is a warning about the food, not a diagnosis.

### Usually leads to Freezer thermostat and temperature control repair

Repairing the dial thermostat or the sensor and control that decide when a freezer cools, so it stops running without end or quitting too early.

### 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.

## Before you book, in this order.

Each step comes from Liebherr's own guidance for Temperature alarm on its freezers. Follow it to the end: the last card says whether this is a visit.

01

Touch the display to read the warmest freezing temperature the appliance recorded.

02

If it stayed below 16°F, close the door and let the freezer recover; if it went above, check each package for softness before refreezing or cooking.

03

Remove the cause (a door left open, a large warm load or a hot room) and book a visit if the alarm keeps returning with the door shut.

### Still there?

### What not to do

The temperature alarm is not the power failure message, which Liebherr shows separately after an outage. It also does not name a broken part; Liebherr lists warm food, room air let in and a long outage before a defect.

## Questions about Temperature alarm.

### Can I clear Temperature alarm myself?

Touch the display to read the warmest freezing temperature the appliance recorded. If it comes back, it needs a visit.

### What does the Liebherr freezer show when I touch the temperature alarm?

It shows the warmest freezing temperature recorded while the alarm was active. That single number is what you use to decide whether the food is still safe.

### Why does 16°F matter on a Liebherr freezer alarm?

Liebherr treats food that stayed below 16°F (−9°C) as still fit to eat. Above that, it asks you to check the food before using it.

### Can loading a lot of warm food trigger the Liebherr temperature alarm?

Yes, Liebherr lists warm fresh food as one of the causes. Turning on SuperFrost ahead of a big load helps the freezer hold its temperature while the new food freezes.
