The Liebherr GP 1486 freezer is one of three GP models listed on our site, alongside the GP 1376 and the GP 2733. According to our model pages, all three are under-counter freezers with NoFrost automatic defrost and a SuperFrost rapid-freeze function, and all three share the same outside size of 21.7 inches wide and 33.5 inches high. What separates them is capacity: about 3.6 cubic feet for the GP 1376, about 3.9 for the GP 1486 and about 4.8 for the GP 2733. This guide compares the three and tells you what to check before you buy or replace one.
What is the Liebherr GP line, and how does it differ from the other freezers?
Our Liebherr model-number decoder lists GP 2733 as one of the freezers in the family whose name starts with G, a freezer with no fresh food compartment. We do not decode the letters after the G on this site, so we will not guess what the P stands for. What we can say, from the specification pages, is how the GP models are built: compact under-counter freezers, white, with a front-mounted electronic temperature display.
The upright freezers on our site are a different format. The GN 4835 is listed at about 12.0 cubic feet, 23.6 inches wide and 72.8 inches high, and the GNsdd 5552 at about 12.7 cubic feet with a SteelFinish door. Another under-counter model, the Gsl 1223, is about 3.4 cubic feet, with the same 21.7-by-33.5-inch outside size as the GP models. For the difference between formats, see chest versus upright freezer.
How do the GP 1376, GP 1486 and GP 2733 compare?
The three share one body size, so the decision is capacity, and capacity is a decision about how you shop. Per our model pages, the GP 1376 is the smallest at about 3.6 cubic feet, the GP 1486 sits in the middle at about 3.9 and the GP 2733 holds about 4.8. Those figures are approximate values from our model pages, so check the rating plate and the maker’s sheet for the exact net capacity of the unit you are buying.
The shared specification list is the same on all three pages: NoFrost automatic defrost, a SuperFrost rapid-freeze function, PowerCooling air circulation, frost-safe transparent drawers, an energy-efficient inverter compressor and an acoustic and visual temperature and door alarm. Choosing between the three means choosing between small, medium and larger drawers’ worth of storage in an identical cabinet.
Think about how the freezer will be used before you pick a size. A freezer that holds a few weeks of meals, ice packs and bread suits the smaller capacity. A household that batch cooks or buys meat in bulk will fill the larger one quickly, and a freezer that is comfortably full also holds its temperature better. Because the three share an outside size, moving up in capacity does not change the opening you need, which makes it easy to choose on storage alone. Our upright freezer organization guide has loading habits that apply to drawers of any size.
What do NoFrost, SuperFrost and PowerCooling mean on a GP freezer?
NoFrost means the freezer removes moisture automatically so ice does not build up, which is why a NoFrost freezer rarely needs a manual defrost. See how NoFrost avoids defrosting. SuperFrost is the rapid-freeze boost: activate it a few hours before adding a large load of fresh food, then let it switch off by itself, as described in SuperFrost explained. PowerCooling is Liebherr’s air circulation system; PowerCooling explained covers it.
Those three features are worth understanding because they explain the common alarms. If you see excess frost on a NoFrost unit, it is a symptom and not normal. If the temperature climbs, the codes F3, F4 and AL02 are the ones to look up in our Liebherr freezer error codes guide.
What should you check before you buy or replace a GP freezer?
Because these are under-counter units, the opening matters more than the model number. Measure the width, the height and the depth of the space, then compare against 21.7 inches wide and 33.5 inches high as listed on our model pages, and check the door swing and the clearance the manual asks for. A freezer boxed into a tight alcove recirculates its own warm air, runs longer and costs more to run without showing a fault. Our freezer installation and clearances guide covers clearances, leveling and the settling time before first power-up.
Also check the power: use a grounded outlet that you can reach, with no extension cord and no timer or smart plug. If the unit is going in a garage or an unheated utility room, confirm the climate class covers that room’s temperature range.
What if your GP number is not one of these three?
People also search for GP 2033, GP 2433 and similar numbers. Those are not listed on our site, so we do not publish specifications for them. Use the full model name and serial number on the rating plate; our model number decoder shows where to find them. If the number on your plate carries a suffix after a dash, quote it in full when you order parts or call for service, because two cabinets from the same family can need different parts.
