What P12 / P13 / P14 Means

P12, P13 and P14 are preset storage programs rather than codes. P12 is general frozen-food storage, P13 is long-term ice-cream storage, and P14 is ready-to-eat scooping ice cream. Selecting one adjusts the storage climate — temperature and humidity — for that use rather than simply changing a set point.

Common Causes of P12 / P13 / P14

  • A program selected for a previous use and never changed back
  • A program chosen during commissioning that no longer matches what the cabinet holds

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

If a cabinet is running colder or warmer than expected and nobody changed the temperature, check which program is selected. A freezer left on the scooping program will sit noticeably warmer than one on frozen-food storage, and it will look like a problem to anyone who does not know the program exists.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • A scooping cabinet and a storage cabinet have different jobs, and running frozen stock on a scooping program is a food-safety decision made by accident.
  • Because the program adjusts more than the set point, matching the behavior by hand from the temperature setting alone does not reproduce it.

Opening a panel to inspect or repair something yourself doesn't automatically cancel your manufacturer's warranty — but it can risk accidental damage, and some manufacturers do have specific service conditions. Check your product's warranty terms, or ask us, before deciding.

If P12 / P13 / P14 is showing up earlier than expected, coming with other warning signs, or you're just not sure, book a trained technician for a proper diagnosis.

FAQ

P12 / P13 / P14 FAQ

Check the program first. P14 exists precisely for ready-to-eat scooping, and a cabinet left on the general frozen-food program will hold ice cream much harder than a counter needs.

You can change the set point, but Liebherr's programs adjust the storage climate rather than only the number, which is why the preset usually gives a better result than an improvised setting.
