Does your refrigerator smell? This is how you know it's time to change the filter
The activated carbon in the filter absorbs odor molecules over a vast microscopic surface area – but after 4-6 months of use, it reaches full saturation and stops filtering. From that moment on, odors accumulate again. Replacing the filter on time solves the problem within 24-48 hours.
Pay attention to the following signs:
- Odors return in the refrigerator after previously being resolved
- Cheese, butter or baked goods absorb foreign odors
- The refrigerator screen displays a filter replacement reminder
- More than 6 months have passed since the last replacement
Click the “Check Model Compatibility” button at the top of the page before ordering – the test takes seconds and confirms that the filter is exactly the right fit for your refrigerator.
How does Liebherr's FreshAir technology work?
The filter is located directly in the airflow path, next to the refrigerator's internal fan. During each cooling cycle, the air passes through the activated carbon layer. The porous surface of the carbon absorbs odor molecules by adsorption - a physical process that does not use chemicals and does not affect the taste of food.
The practical result: every time you open a door – fresh air. From the experience of our technicians, customers who replace the filter on time report that the odors disappear completely within a day or two of installation.

🔧 How do you replace the activated carbon filter?
Self-replacement takes about 60 seconds and requires no tools. Difficulty level: Very easy.
- Open the refrigerator door and locate the filter compartment – usually at the top, near the fan.
- Pull the cell out gently.
- Remove the old filter and discard it.
- Insert the new filter in the correct direction (until you feel a click).
- Put the cell back in place.
- If the refrigerator has a touchscreen – confirm the change in the menu to reset the filter reminder.
💡 Tip from the experts
Before replacing – clean the refrigerator. In our experience during service visits, a new filter alone will not solve the problem if there is liquid spilled at the bottom of the refrigerator or expired food. The filter neutralizes odors in the air flow – but an active odor source will fill it at an increased rate.
The correct order: Remove old food, clean up spills, then install the new filter. This will achieve optimal results and extend the filter's life to a maximum of 6 months.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
Is this filter suitable for my Liebherr refrigerator?
The filter is compatible with a wide range of Liebherr models from the Prime, Peak, Plus and Pure series. Before ordering, please check the model compatibility at the top of the page. The model number is listed on the identification tag inside the refrigerator (bottom left) or in the digital menu: Settings → Information, for refrigerators with a Touch and Swipe screen.
How often should the filter be replaced?
Liebherr recommends replacing every 6 months to maintain optimal filtration quality. In intensive use, when there are many products with a strong smell such as mature cheeses or fish, it is recommended to replace every 4 months. Advanced refrigerators display a reminder on the screen when the time is up.
Where is the filter located inside the refrigerator?
The filter is located in a dedicated compartment next to the internal fan, usually at the top of the refrigerator compartment. Look for a small compartment that can be pulled out. On some models, the compartment is hidden behind a plastic or mesh cover – gently pull them out to access the filter.
