The CI 16 is the built-in cabinet version of the C 16 — same combination refrigerator-freezer layout and the same 2004-era controls, just installed into a cutout rather than standing on its own.
As with the other built-in columns from this family, we check the cabinet’s ventilation clearance alongside whatever error code the display shows; a tight, unventilated cutout strains the compressor over years in a way a freestanding C 16 never would.
Key Features
- Built-in combination refrigerator-freezer

Most Common Issues on This Model
Control panel showing an F-series error code — Liebherr documents the problem ranges but reserves the specific-digit meaning for a technician's own service lookup, so we read the exact code before opening anything
DEMO mode left switched on from setup or a showroom display, leaving the panel lit with no active cooling
Ventilation clearance behind the built-in cabinet restricting airflow and straining the compressor over the long run
