Six ordinary causes
What this usually turns out to be
Cheapest and commonest first, which is also the order we check them in. They sit hundreds of dollars apart, and only the unit settles which one is yours.
-
Water tank empty or not seated
The maker names this twice — once for no ice and once for the flashing lamp. It is the first thing to check and it is free.

A compartment that is not cold enough
An ice maker in a warm freezer makes little. That is a cooling diagnosis wearing an ice maker's clothes.

About Liebherr ice maker not making ice
The fastest diagnosis is what the appliance is telling you
Work through the maker's own three questions before calling: is the ice maker turned on, is the drawer closed properly, and is there enough water in the tank and is the tank inserted correctly. A real share of these calls end there.
The maker's own troubleshooting has three rows
Is the appliance connected. Is the ice maker on, is the drawer closed, is there water in the tank and is the tank seated. And: the control lamp above the ON/OFF button flashes — is there enough water, is the tank in correctly. That is the entire published list, and it resolves more of these calls than anything we could add to it.

Before you book
Questions about liebherr ice maker not making ice
The lamp above the button is flashing.
That is documented and it is about water: is there enough in the tank, and has the tank been inserted correctly. Those two checks are the maker's own published answer.
It makes a little ice but not much.
Usually water rather than ice maker — a tired filter, a valve not fully open, or a supply partly closed. It can also be a freezer running a few degrees warm, which is why the compartment temperature gets checked on the same visit.
