A Lufthansa Airbus A340-300, registration D-AIGM performing flight LH-432 from Frankfurt/Main (Germany) to Chicago O'Hare,IL (USA), was climbing out of Frankfurt when the crew stopped the climb at FL230 and continued enroute for some 10 minutes before decided to return to Frankfurt. The crew reported they had needed to shut their #1 engine (CFM56, outboard left hand) down and needed to dump fuel for about 20 minutes. The aircraft subsequently landed safely on Frankfurt's runway 25C about 1:50 hours after departure.

The rotation was cancelled.
