Liebherr SBS32S1 SmartSteel 60-Inch Freestanding Pair Repair

Liebherr refrigerator

Most common issues on this model

  1. Condenser dust forcing long compressor cycles
  2. IceMaker valve choked with scale
  3. Door gaskets worn on the heavy refrigerator side
  4. Freezer frost from a failed defrost part
  5. LED light column that has gone dark

The SBS32S1 puts two freestanding columns together, a CS 1611 refrigerator and a CS 1660 freezer, to make a 60-inch pair with 30.9 cubic feet of space. It appears in the 2011 design guide, and its SmartSteel doors resist the smudges that stainless collects in a busy kitchen.

We begin at the base with the condenser and fan, since a pair this size moves a lot of air. Then we check each column’s gasket, level the cabinets so the doors close without help, and watch the freezer for frost that points to a defrost problem.

The LED light column in the refrigerator and the freezer lighting are tested with the door switches. The IceMaker output is timed against 2.2 pounds per day. The price is written down for you before work, and the job is covered by 30 days of workmanship warranty.

SBS32S1SBS32S1 questions
Does SmartSteel scratch easily?

It resists fingerprints better than plain stainless, but it still scratches under abrasive pads. Wipe with a soft cloth and mild soap. We protect the doors when we move the unit.

Why does my freezer column have frost on the back wall?

Frost builds when the defrost heater, sensor or drain stops working, or when the gasket leaks. We check all four before quoting, and thaw any drain that has iced over.

How much power does this pair need?

The listing gives 115 volts at 60 hertz and 5 amps. We check the outlet and cord so the two columns are not on an overloaded line, which can trip the breaker.
