Liebherr Combined Unit Code Power Failure Symbol: freezer warmed during an outage

What Power Failure Symbol means

On Liebherr US combined units such as the HCB 1560, the power failure symbol lights when the freezer section got too warm while the power was off. The alarm icon then shows the highest temperature reached during the outage. That figure helps you judge the food: a brief rise is harmless, while a high peak means packages have partly thawed and deserve a careful look before you refreeze or eat anything.

Common causes of Power Failure Symbol

A utility outage or tripped breaker that stopped the unit
The plug pulled out or a power strip switched off
A loose outlet connection that cut power for a while
Repeated outages pointing at a wiring or supply problem in the home or the unit

✓ One safe check you can try

1. Read the temperature shown on the alarm icon; it is the warmest point reached. 2. Inspect the food: hard items stay, thawed or wet packages go. 3. Confirm the plug sits tight and the breaker is on. 4. Acknowledge the alarm with its button once you have read the number. If it returns with no outage, call us.

! Why to stop there

A power failure symbol that returns without any outage points to a supply or control problem inside the unit.
Deciding what to keep after a thaw is easier with a technician's check of how well the unit holds temperature now.
Do not open the unit or touch wiring to hunt for the interruption.

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.

Power Failure SymbolPower Failure Symbol questions

What does the number next to the alarm icon mean on my HCB 1560?

It is the highest temperature the freezer section reached while the power was out. Use it to judge food safety: a value near freezing means a lot of thawing, a lower value means little.

Is it safe to refreeze food after this alarm?

Food that still has ice crystals or feels cold and hard can stay frozen. Anything fully thawed, warm to the touch, or sitting in liquid should be cooked right away or thrown out.

The symbol came on but I never lost power. Why?

Short interruptions go unnoticed, for example a flicker or a power strip switched off for a moment. If it repeats without a visible outage, we should check the unit's supply and control.
