What c0 / c1 Means

Liebherr's wine cabinets carry the same child-lock item as the rest of the range: c in the set-up mode, c1 for on and c0 for off. The wine manuals add a detail the others leave implicit — if the cabinet cannot be switched off at all, the child lock is the reason.

Common Causes of c0 / c1

  • The lock was enabled to stop the cabinet being switched off accidentally
  • A long press while cleaning the control strip opened set-up mode and changed it

🔧 One Safe Check You Can Try

Enter set-up mode the way your model documents, usually by holding the light or fan button for about five seconds until c appears and the button flashes, then select c0 and confirm. The lit key symbol goes out when it takes.

⚠ Why You Shouldn't Go Further Than That

  • A cabinet that ignores its own on/off button looks exactly like a failed control panel, and that is a call-out to be told about a setting.
  • If the documented sequence does not release it, the panel is no longer reading input properly, and that is a genuine problem worth reporting as such.

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.

FAQ

c0 / c1 FAQ

Liebherr's own manual names the child lock as the reason a cabinet cannot be switched off, so check for a lit key symbol before assuming the button has failed.

On most generations, yes. That is the point of it — the lock exists so an accidental press cannot leave a collection unrefrigerated or badly set.
