Liebherr HC/CS Code drop symbol: time to replace the water filter

What drop symbol means

On Liebherr HC and CS refrigerators with a water filter, such as the HC 2090G, the drop symbol lights up as a reminder that the filter needs replacing. The unit is working normally. After the new filter is in, the reminder has to be cleared by hand: you enter setup mode and use the "Drop symbol reset" function, otherwise the symbol stays on.

Common causes of drop symbol

The filter has reached its replacement interval
A new filter fitted without resetting the reminder
The reset not completed in setup mode

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Order and fit a new water filter as described for your model. 2. Run water through it for a few minutes to flush air. 3. Enter setup mode and select "Drop symbol reset" to clear the reminder. 4. If the symbol returns right after a reset, call us.

! Why to stop there

Filter changes and the reset are routine owner tasks, so no visit is needed in most cases.
If water flow is weak after the swap, the problem sits in the water path and needs a technician.
We can handle the replacement for you and quote the price first.

Opening a panel yourself does not automatically cancel a manufacturer warranty, but it can cause accidental damage, and some manufacturers set their own service conditions. Check your warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

drop symboldrop symbol questions

What does the drop symbol mean on my HC 2090G?

It reminds you that the water filter is due for replacement. Nothing is broken; the symbol stays on until the filter is changed and the reminder is reset in setup mode.

I changed the filter but the drop is still lit.

The reminder has to be cleared manually. Enter setup mode and choose "Drop symbol reset". After that the symbol goes out and the filter life count starts over.

Is the water safe if I ignore the symbol?

A filter past its interval no longer works as intended, so change it soon. Until then the refrigerator keeps cooling normally, and the symbol is the only change you will notice.
