# Liebherr freezer column: The freezer display shows two dashes instead of a temperature

### This is an indicator, not an error code

The freezer temperature display will only show temperatures that are below freezing. When initially starting the freezer it will not be below freezing. It will take three to five hours (depending on ambient conditions) for freezing temperatures to be achieved and thus displayed numerically. This may also occur after a power failure.

It is on this page because it is what somebody is actually looking at when they go searching. Most of this maker’s equipment publishes no code at all, and an appliance that flashes at you is still telling you something — it simply is not telling you a number.

This is the one people describe as **liebherr freezer not showing temperature**, and on this make it is documented rather than broken.

### What to do

- Wait. The display shows below-freezing temperatures only, and from cold the maker allows three to five hours depending on the room.
- The same applies after a power failure — it has to get back down before it can show a number again.
- Still dashes the next morning is the point at which it stops being normal.

### What the repair is

Conditions like this one end at [Alarm and power-failure diagnosis](https://liebherrmiami.support/services/alarm-and-power-failure-diagnosis/) more often than anywhere else. The figure on that page is a starting point; the exact cost is confirmed after an on-site diagnostic and agreed in writing before anything is opened.
