Re: Liebher temp display is wrong
UPDATE We spent the weekend completely defrosting the fridge until there was not a drop of melted water anywhere, really gave it a lot of time, well over 24 hours. It is working properly at the moment but I have to be obsessive about not letting elderly mother stand in front of the open fridge deciding what to eat…..the key seems to be to concentrate on the temperature around the fridge and to be paranoid about keeping the door closed! Good result though. That was a few weeks ago, the next weekend the boiler broke! (Soon fixed, under contract!).

Re: Liebher temp display is wrong
Spot on! The ice build up is tremendous, it’s been a problem for a couple of years. We defrost it and it seems to be OK afterwards, but not lately. Hubby was wondering if the sensor is affected by any residual ice rather than by the circulating air temperature? I now have two independent thermometers in there telling me that the fridge temperature (by the back wall) is +11 whilst the display insists that it is +5.
To be honest, I regret ever having bought it because maintaining temperature has always been difficult. Our kitchen is always within the +10 – +30 range specified, and is quite large and open plan so there’s always a good draught and ventilation, so I am a little mystified. My elderly mother has a habit of leaving the door open whilst she peers inside – but that’s only2 minutes at the most and the seal on the door sounds effective with a good “vacuum” effect when you open the door.
My plan is to start defrosting tomorrow night and really leave it all weekend if necessary until there is absolutely no ice left. Start it up again. If the problem continues, ring an engineer?? 😀
Thankyou!
