What - - means

On Liebherr US NoFrost units such as the HCB 1560, the freezer display reads out only temperatures below freezing. When the freezer section is warmer than that, two dashes show instead of a number. You will see them at start-up for about three to five hours, after a power failure and while SuperCool is on. They disappear without any action once the freezer has cooled enough to give a reading.

Common causes of - -

  • First start-up with the unit still cooling down
  • A power failure that warmed the freezer section
  • SuperCool in operation
  • A freezer that remains too warm long after start-up, which needs a technician
✓ One safe check you can try

1. Let the unit run with doors closed for five hours. 2. Check whether SuperCool is on and wait for it to finish. 3. Keep drawers closed and avoid loading lots of warm food. 4. If dashes remain after a full day, or the freezer food is soft, call us.

! Why to stop there
  • The dashes themselves are not a repair, so wait first and spare yourself a visit.
  • If the freezer never reaches a readable temperature, only a technician can find why with the right instruments.
  • Frequent resetting hides how long the section has really been warm.
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.

- -- - questions
Why does my HCB 1560 show - - for the freezer?

The freezer display only shows temperatures below freezing. Dashes take the place of a number during start-up, after a power failure and during SuperCool, until the section gets cold enough.

How long until a number appears?

Plan on three to five hours after start-up or an outage with the doors closed. Loading a lot of warm food can stretch that, so give it a little more time before you worry.

When do the dashes call for a repair?

If a full day has passed, doors were kept shut and the display still shows dashes, the freezer is not cooling. That is the moment to call us for a diagnosis with a written price first.
