About - Liebherr CS2062
The Liebherr CS2062 is part of the refrigerator test program at Consumer Reports. In our lab tests, built in refrigerator models like the CS2062 are rated on multiple criteria, such as those listed below. Temperature performance: This combines results of tests measuring the accuracy of initial temperature settings along with how well a model 1) kept optimum temperatures in the refrigerator and freezer at the same time; 2) kept temperatures even throughout each compartment; 3) kept temperatures constant despite changes in room temperatures; and 4) maintained set temperatures even with very high room temperatures. Energy efficiency: This reflects electricity consumption (based on our tests) per cubic foot of measured usable storage space. For example, two refrigerators with the same energy cost per year may have different energy efficiencies -- the unit with more storage space being more efficient. Noise: Noise level was measured when the compressor started up and during steady running. Subjective judgments by a panel of listeners supplemented our noise-meter readings.

Features & Specs - Liebherr CS2062
Claimed capacity (cu. ft.) Claimed capacity is the manufacturer's estimate of the volume, in cubic feet, of interior space. Claimed capacity (cu. ft.)	19.5
Bottom-freezer These put frequently used items at eye level. Fairly wide refrigerator shelves provide easy access. Though you must bend to locate items in the freezer, even with models featuring a pull-out basket, you will probably do less bending overall because the refrigeration compartment is at eye level. Bottom-freezer	Yes
Side-by-side Part of both the main compartment and the freezer are at eye level, where it's easy to reach. Side-by-sides are the most fully featured with through-the-door ice and water dispensers, temperature-controlled bins, and rapid ice-making cycles among the most requested. Narrow doors are handy in tight spaces. High, narrow compartments make finding stray items easy in front (harder in the back), but they may not hold items such as a sheet cake or a large turkey. Compared with top- and bottom-freezer models, a higher proportion of capacity goes to freezer space. They're much more expensive than similar-sized top-freezer models and are less space- and energy-efficient. Side-by-side	No
French-door style French door models are bottom-freezer refrigerators whose upper compartments have two narrow doors that open similarly to the doors of a side-by-side refrigerator. These narrower doors use less space in front of the refrigerator when opened, and allow access to either or both sides of the full-width fresh-food compartment. Typically more expensive, French-door models are usually 36 inches wide, though some newer models are 33 inches wide. French-door style	Yes
Water dispenser On side-by-side models, the water dispenser is normally accessible from the outside as part of the ice and water dispenser. On bottom-freezer models, the water dispenser is normally located in the fresh food compartment. Water dispenser	No
Stainless/SS-look option Stainless steel is stylish but it shows fingerprints. Another option: a vinyl-covered metal finish that gives you a stainless-steel look but resists smudging. Stainless/SS-look option	Yes

Comment:

After ~ 2 years, there was a buildup of ice and frost in the REFRIGERATOR ( not the freezer). Initially I thought this was because of hot, humid weather, but after I defrosted it the same thing happened, and it turned out to be a faulty sensor in the refrigerator. I had not invested in an extended warranty, and it cost me ~ $259 to repair. <br />Checking online, I found other complaints. I think that in this era of computer-driven appliances, an extended warranty is probably quite cast-efficient.

Bad Ice Maker

Horrible customer service

Best Uses

Kitchens Not Needing Ice

Comment:

The ice maker has not worked since it was first placed in service (approx. two months as of the date of this posting). Service tech has been out three times, replaced multiple parts, and the ice maker is still not working. Liebherr is giving us the run around and dragging their feet on getting it fixed. I would not recommend this refrigerator at all. I am now considering legal action.

How long have you owned it:

One-to-three months

Bottom Line

No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
