The freezer drawer in our Burlingame Hills kitchen keeps icing up. Is the freezer failing?

Not necessarily. Repeated icing usually means moist air is getting in through a gasket or a door that closes short, or the defrost system is not clearing the evaporator. Both are repairable without touching the sealed system.

Is food safe in a Liebherr freezer that keeps sounding its alarm?

Look at the temperature display. If the freezer holds at or near its setting, food is fine while you wait for the visit. If the number is climbing, move what you can to another freezer or a cooler, keep the door shut, and give us the reading when you book.

Should we have the model number ready when we book?

It helps. The rating label with the model and serial number is inside the unit. A photo of it lets us check part availability ahead of time, which matters with a brand whose parts can take longer to arrive.

Liebherr in Burlingame

Liebherr in Burlingame kitchens.

El Camino Real splits Burlingame's kitchens. West of it, toward the Hillsborough line and up into Burlingame Hills, remodeled homes carry built-in refrigeration behind panels. East of it, Lyon-Hoag and the Easton Addition are older bungalows and post-war houses, where anything built-in had to be fitted into a kitchen designed long before it.

Liebherr freezers have their own set of problems. An integrated or freestanding freezer that builds ice on the back wall, freezes its drawers shut or sounds the door alarm is usually pointing at a defrost fault or a door that is not sealing. We test the defrost heater, its sensor and the gasket before anything bigger. Our $99 diagnostic is credited toward any repair you approve, and the written quote comes first.

Common repairs we do

Common repairs we handle.

Freezer drawers frozen shut or iced at the rear. Ice at the back of a freezer and drawers that stick both come from moisture that gets in and is not cleared by defrost. We check the gasket and door closure, then run the defrost heater and its sensor. Fixing the cause matters more than chipping out the ice, which just comes back.
Door alarm sounding with the door closed. When the alarm goes off on a shut door, the door switch may be failing or the door may be stopping just short of closed. We check the switch, the hinges and the gasket contact. On a panel-ready freezer, the weight of the panel can pull the door out of square over time.
Column in an older east-side kitchen running warm. A Liebherr fitted into an older Easton Addition or Lyon-Hoag kitchen can end up with less ventilation than its install instructions call for. We check clearances and condenser airflow first, then the fans, and the sealed system if the basics are fine.
