# Liebherr refrigerator showing Ice maker ON/OFF lamp flashing

When the control lamp above the ice maker's ON/OFF button flashes, the manual points to the water tank.

## What Ice maker ON/OFF lamp flashing actually means.

When the control lamp above the ice maker's ON/OFF button flashes, the manual points to the water tank. Either it is low on water or it has not been put back in correctly. The ice maker on this model runs from a tank, not from a water line.

## Questions about Ice maker ON/OFF lamp flashing.

### Can I clear Ice maker ON/OFF lamp flashing myself?

Check that there is enough water in the tank.

### Does a flashing lamp over the Liebherr ice maker button mean the ice maker is broken?

Usually not. The manual links it to the water tank being low or not seated properly. Refill the tank, reseat it and make sure the IceMaker drawer is closed.

### The Liebherr ice maker lamp still flashes with a full tank. What next?

If the tank is full and correctly inserted and the lamp keeps flashing, Liebherr says to contact customer service. This model's ice maker draws from a tank, not a water line, so plumbing is not the cause.
