All segments on the Café freezer display show 88 or 8.8 after power-up

Safety first: No disassembly is required for this indication.

• Wait for completion: The 88 display is typically a normal self-test that lasts a few seconds after power is restored. It should clear automatically.
• Check for subsequent codes: After the test, note any error codes that remain displayed and troubleshoot those specifically.
• Persistent 88: If the display remains stuck on 88 and controls are unresponsive, unplug the freezer for 5–10 minutes and plug it back in. If still stuck, the user interface or main control board may be defective and require replacement.
