Liebherr CS1200 Compact Refrigerator Repair

Liebherr refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Refrigerator that warms while the freezer stays cold, from a stuck damper or a slow fan
  2. Frost on the freezer back wall when the automatic defrost slows down
  3. Door gaskets that have hardened and lost their seal
  4. Water running to the bottom of the cabinet from a blocked drain
  5. Noise from the compressor area or the fans

Narrow kitchens, apartments and condo galleys are where a 24-inch freestanding bottom-freezer like the CS1200 tends to end up, pulled snugly between cabinets. Without an IceMaker or water line, nothing here depends on plumbing, so wear is about airflow, seals and defrosting.

At 11.46 cubic feet total, the cabinet is compact, and a small loss of seal shows quickly. We start with the gasket and the door closing action, then check how much room the unit has behind and beside it, since tight installs choke the condenser. Fans and the defrost system follow.

An older compressor that runs long cycles is not always a failing compressor; dust and a hardened gasket are the common reasons. We test before we quote, you see the price in writing, and the repair is covered by our 30-day workmanship warranty.

CS1200CS1200 questions
Why does the freezer run constantly in a tight cabinet space?

Heat has to leave through the back and sides. If the gap is small or dusty, the compressor cannot shed heat and runs longer. We clean the condenser and check the clearance before suspecting a part.

The hinges are right-hand. Can I swap them?

The doors are reversible. We can move the swing to the left when the room needs it, adjusting the hardware and checking the seals after, so the doors still close squarely.

Is water in the bottom of the fridge a leak from the door?

Not necessarily. A clogged defrost drain sends melt water into the cabinet. We clear the drain and check the pan and tube, then confirm the gasket is sealing.
