Liebherr HC/CS/HCB Code IceMaker LED flashing: the ice maker is not getting water

What IceMaker LED flashing means

On Liebherr HC, CS and HCB refrigerator-freezers with an IceMaker, such as the HC 2090G and HCB 1560, a flashing IceMaker LED means the ice maker is not being supplied with water. The one check the instructions ask for is the shut-off valve of the water supply, which must be open. Until water reaches the unit, the ice maker cannot make cubes.

Common causes of IceMaker LED flashing

The water supply shut-off valve closed
A kinked supply hose
A blocked inlet on the water line
Water pressure missing in the house

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Locate the shut-off valve on the water line and open it fully. 2. Look at the hose behind the unit and straighten any kink. 3. Run a faucet in the house to confirm there is water. 4. Wait several hours and watch the LED. If it still flashes, call us.

! Why to stop there

With the valve open, a flashing LED means water is still not getting in, and the inlet needs a technician.
Valve and inlet repairs risk leaks behind the unit.

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.

IceMaker LED flashingIceMaker LED flashing questions

Why is the IceMaker LED blinking on my HCB 1560?

It is telling you the ice maker is not receiving water. Check that the shut-off valve on the supply line is open, since a closed valve is the most common reason.

The valve is open and it still blinks. What now?

A kinked hose or blocked inlet is holding the water back. Straighten the hose, give it a few hours, and if the LED persists a technician needs to check the inlet.

Is the refrigerator itself affected?

No. The flashing concerns only the ice maker water supply. Cooling in the refrigerator and freezer sections continues normally while the LED flashes. Only the ice production waits until water reaches the unit again.
