Where to look at the Liebherr refrigerator model: official and hidden methods

You bought a refrigerator Liebherr several years ago, and now you need to find out the exact model - to order spare parts, check the warranty or set the temperature according to the instructions? The problem is that the manufacturer places markings in the most unexpected places, and the markings themselves are not always intuitive. For example, on some models of the series Premium NoFrost the number is hidden behind the back wall, and in the series BioFresh it is duplicated on the inside of the door - but only on products after 2020.

In this article we will not just list the standard places where they look for the model (such as a sticker on the back panel), but also We will reveal hidden markings for refrigerators Liebherr with the system SmartDevice, and also show how to decipher the model code in order to understand the year of manufacture and equipment. If you have lost your documents or the sticker has worn off, it doesn’t matter: we have ways to identify the model even by the serial number through the brand’s official service.

1. Standard placement of the model on the Liebherr refrigerator

Let's start with the obvious: most models Liebherr have a nameplate (nameplate) with complete information. However, its location depends on series and year of manufacture. Here's where you should look first:

• 🔹 Rear wall - a classic place for all refrigerators. On Liebherr the plate is usually glued in the upper left corner, but on models with the system NoFrost (for example, CBN 4815) it can be placed closer to the compressor.
• 🔹 Inner side of the door - relevant for lines BioFresh i Premium. Look for a sticker on the plastic panel next to the bottle shelves.
• 🔹 Side wall (right) —rare, but found on compact models like TK 1410. The plate can be hidden under the rubber seal.
• 🔹 Top cover —on some built-in refrigerators (series IK) the marking is printed on a metal plate under the decorative panel.

If the refrigerator is built-in (for example, Liebherr IKP 3560), the plate is often attached to door frame from the hinge side. To see it, you will have to move the furniture a little or remove the facade - but this must be done carefully so as not to damage the fastenings.

2. Hidden markings: where to look if there is no sign

It happens that the factory sticker fell off, was painted over, or was specially removed (for example, during resale). In this case, the model can be identified by alternative markingswhich Liebherr duplicates in less noticeable places:

• 🔧 On the compressor - metal tag with engraving. To see it, remove the back cover (unscrewing 4 screws). The marking begins with the letters CU or CS.
• 🔧 Inside the freezer —on some models (for example, GP 1476) the number is engraved on the plastic wall behind the drawers.
• 🔧 On the electronic module —if the refrigerator has a display (series SmartDevice), the model can be indicated on the control board under the button panel.
• 🔧 In the documentation —check the warranty card, passport or instructions. Even if you lost them, sometimes copies are attached to the box or saved in electronic form (for example, in a letter from the store).

On refrigerators Liebherr with a system BioFresh (for example, CBS 6256) the model is sometimes duplicated on plastic shelf holder - take a closer look at the small print on the inside.

3. How to decipher the Liebherr model: what the letters and numbers mean

The model number Liebherr is not a random set of characters, but codeby which you can determine the key characteristics of the refrigerator. Let's look at the example of a popular model CBNes 5156:

If physical marking is not available, you can use official tools Liebherr. For this you will need serial number (usually starts with 91... or 92...), which is on the same nameplate or in the documents.
