Liebherr SBS241 Built-In Side-by-Side, BioFresh and Freezer Column Repair

Liebherr refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. IceMaker valve or fill tube blocked, so the 24-hour output drops
  2. Drawer rails on the BioFresh or refrigerator column that drag or bend
  3. Freezer frost where the defrost heater, sensor or drain no longer works
  4. Circuit breaker nuisance trips from an older compressor start part
  5. Door gaskets hardened on the hinge edges

The SBS241 is a 48-inch pair: a BioFresh and freezer column beside a full refrigerator column. Together they hold 23.8 cubic feet and appeared in both the 2009 and 2013 design guides. Because the pair is wired for a 20-amp circuit, the electrical side of an older installation deserves a look.

We start by confirming the breaker and receptacle are in good condition, then check each column. On the freezer side we read the ice output, the defrost parts and the drain; on the refrigerator side the telescopic drawers, the fan and the gasket. A wire that is warm to the touch is addressed before anything else.

We time one fill against the 2.2 pounds per 24 hours the IceMaker is rated for. Our written quote arrives first; once the job is done, thirty days of workmanship coverage apply.

SBS241SBS241 questions
Why does my SBS241 trip the breaker now and then?

An aging compressor start part draws a high surge when it kicks on. On a shared circuit that can trip the breaker. We measure the draw, check the wiring, and replace the start part.

How do you check the IceMaker output?

We time a full cycle and measure what the tray delivers against the rated 2.2 pounds per day. A shortfall points to a restricted valve or a frozen fill tube, which we clear or replace.

Is BF 1061 the freezer or the refrigerator side?

The BF 1061 column holds the BioFresh section and the freezer, and the R 1410 beside it is the full refrigerator. We service each column on its own circuit, then check the seam between them.
