Plain-English summary
Liebherr-Hausgeraete Lienz GmbH is recalling approximately 5,702 built-in 30-inch wide bottom freezer refrigerators. The recall is due to a hazard where the refrigerator door can detach, which poses an injury risk to consumers. The affected units were sold individually or as side-by-side companion units in stainless steel and various custom finishes, built into kitchen cabinetry.
The refrigerators were sold at appliance and specialty retailers nationwide from February 2004 through January 2011 for between $4,400 and $5,000. Liebherr has received ten reports of doors detaching, but no injuries have been reported. The model number can be found on a label located behind the bottom drawer on the left interior side of the single door refrigerator.
Consumers with recalled refrigerators should contact Liebherr immediately to schedule a free in-home repair. Consumers should check their refrigerator immediately to see whether the door hinge pin has become loose, indicated by a popped up hinge pin at the top or bottom. If the hinge has not become loose and the door is functioning properly, consumers may continue to use the refrigerator until it is repaired. For additional information, contact Liebherr toll-free at (877) 337-2653 Monday through Friday 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. MT or visit www.liebherr.us.
