Liebherr SW5291 Combination with NoFrost Freezer and Wine Compartment Repair

Liebherr refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Wine section too warm or too cold compared with the setting
  2. Freezer frost that signals a failed defrost cycle
  3. Fan noise from either compartment
  4. Door seal wear that lets in warm air
  5. Control that does not respond to temperature changes

The SW5291 pairs a wine tempering compartment with a NoFrost freezer in one cabinet, which means two very different temperature targets share a cooling system. Wine wants steady, gentle cold; the freezer wants a hard freeze.

That split is what we examine. We take a reading in each compartment and compare it to the control settings, then watch how the unit shares cold air between them. A wine section that runs cold is getting too much airflow from the freezer side, and one that runs warm points to a damper or sensor. We then inspect the NoFrost parts, the door seals on both doors and the drain. You receive a written price before any part is ordered.

After the repair we confirm both compartments with a probe, so the wine section and the freezer each hold the number you set. A written price comes first.

SW5291SW5291 questions
Why is my wine compartment too cold on the SW5291?

Cold air from the freezer side is reaching the wine compartment through a damper or fan. We test the damper and the sensor, because either one can leave the wine section colder than its setting.

What temperature should wine be held at?

That depends on the wine and your taste, and you set it on the control. Our job is to make sure the compartment holds the number you choose, steadily, without swings.

Does NoFrost mean I never have to touch the freezer?

You skip manual defrosting, but the drain and seals still need care. If frost appears anyway, the heater, sensor or fan has stopped working and we repair it.
