Frequently Asked Questions: Liebherr AL01
FAQ TREEWhat does error code AL01 mean on a Liebherr appliance?
Liebherr error code AL01 indicates: Liebherr BioFresh / BluPerformance / Monolith / NoFrost Premium Refrigerator & Wine Cellar: Diagnostic fault code AL01 registered by the microcomputer controller. Freezer compartment critical high temperature alarm (warmer than -9°C).
What is the root cause of Liebherr error code AL01?
The primary root cause for Liebherr code AL01 is: On Liebherr appliances engineered with BioFresh climate chambers, BluPerformance base refrigeration module, DuoCooling dual refrigerant circuits, and VCC inverter compressor with 4.7 kΩ NTC thermistors: refrigeration failure or prolonged door opening Metrological tolerance verification: nominal NTC thermistor 10.0 kΩ at 25°C, 2.5 kΩ at 60°C..
How do I fix or resolve Liebherr error code AL01?
To resolve error code AL01: Disconnect mains power before servicing. Unplug the harness at the main PCB and use a calibrated digital multimeter: measure sensor resistance across 2-pin harness connector (expected ~10 kΩ at 25°C). Inspect contacts for pin oxidation or loose terminals. Replace defective part if out of tolerance, re-energize and clear error: Turn appliance on. Hold SuperFrost (or Alarm) for 5 seconds until 'c' or 'C' menu appears. Press Up/Down to navigate to '0' or 'rS', then press SuperFrost for 3 seconds to clear the fault log and exit service test mode.
Is it safe to clear Liebherr error code AL01 by resetting power?
Resetting power (unplugging for 5–10 minutes) clears temporary memory errors. However, if Liebherr code AL01 persists, the physical component causing On Liebherr appliances engineered with BioFresh climate chambers, BluPerformance base refrigeration module, DuoCooling dual refrigerant circuits, and VCC inverter compressor with 4.7 kΩ NTC thermistors: refrigeration failure or prolonged door opening Metrological tolerance verification: nominal NTC thermistor 10.0 kΩ at 25°C, 2.5 kΩ at 60°C. must be inspected or replaced.
How do I test electrical resistance for Liebherr code AL01 using a multimeter?
Set a digital multimeter to ohms (Ω). Disconnect power and test Compressor Motor Windings (Run/Start) & Defrost Heater across Across 3 compressor pins (Common, Run, Start): R(C-S) + R(C-R) = R(S-R). Winding to earth: >20MΩ (OL).. Expected nominal reading is 15Ω–25Ω (Run C-R), 20Ω–35Ω (Start C-S), 200Ω–400Ω (Defrost Heater). PTC Relay: 10Ω–30Ω at 25°C.. Tolerance: ±10%. Any low insulation resistance to casing (<2MΩ) trips the breaker. Defrost bimetal reads <0.5Ω when sub-zero..
What safety protocol must be followed before servicing Liebherr code AL01?
Standard electrical safety protocol: 1. Disconnect 230V mains power before opening panels. 2. Verify zero voltage at test points. 3. Allow hot water or heating elements to cool below 30°C before handling.
