# Liebherr interior light not working

### The fastest diagnosis is what the appliance is telling you

Has the door been open for more than about fifteen minutes? The maker documents the lighting switching off after a long door-open. Close it properly, reopen, and see.

### The published answer, first

Liebherr’s own troubleshooting row for the interior light asks two questions: is the refrigerator compartment turned on, and has the door been open for more than fifteen minutes. Both are free, and between them they explain a good share of these calls.

The documented long-door-open cutoff

Published by the maker in its own troubleshooting: is the compartment turned on, and has the door been open more than fifteen minutes.

The compartment switched off

On cabinets where compartments can be switched independently, the maker asks this first.

The lighting itself

LED module or its driver. A repair, and not one that affects the food.

The door switch

Which can also leave a wine cabinet light on rather than off.

Close the door fully and reopen

After a long door-open the lighting comes back this way.

Check the compartment is switched on

The maker's own first question.

Note whether the light is stuck on instead

That is the door switch and it costs energy and heat.

Check the free answer first

What it usually means

Light out, temperature fine

Out since the door was left open

Wine cabinet light that will not turn off

### The light in my wine fridge stays on all the time.

That is the door switch rather than the lamp, and it is worth fixing: a light that never goes out is a small heater inside a cabinet whose whole job is holding a steady temperature.

### Is the food at risk if the light is out?

No. Lighting and cooling are separate, and a cabinet with a dead lamp and a correct temperature is doing its actual job.
