# Liebherr appliance installation and refit

### Why installation is on a repair company’s price list

Because most of what we are called out to on built-in refrigeration in the first two years is installation rather than manufacture: a clearance that was never there, a door that was never aligned, a water line that was never properly tested. Getting it right once is cheaper than the visits that follow getting it wrong.

What this involves

Level and plumb, then aligned to the run

Clearances the manual actually specifies

Water connection tested under pressure

Check the opening before the appliance goes in

Dimensions, clearances and ventilation. An appliance fitted into an opening that is too tight will run long for the rest of its life.

Level and plumb it

The manual’s own first answer for running noise, and the foundation for every door adjustment that follows.

Fit the panel and align to the neighbors

The door carries your cabinet front, and the reference is the run rather than the appliance.

Connect and test the water

Under pressure, watched, with the shut-off located and shown to you.

Verify by running it

Pull-down measured rather than assumed, and the documented signals explained before we leave.

### We are having a kitchen fitted. When should you come?

After the joinery is in and before the fronts are final, if the schedule allows. Levelling and alignment are much easier before everything around the appliance is fixed.

### Does the installation really affect how long it lasts?

On built-in refrigeration, yes and measurably. Clearance decides how well heat leaves, level decides how the door seals, and both decide how long the compressor runs for the same cold. It is the least visible thing on this list and the one with the longest tail.
