Freezer shows E8; interior fan may not run, causing uneven temperatures and warm spots.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before opening interior panels.

Check for ice obstruction:

• Open the freezer and listen for the evaporator fan when the door switch is held closed (on some models). If silent, proceed.
• Look for heavy frost on the rear interior panel. If present, unplug the unit and allow it to defrost completely. This may restore fan movement if it was ice-bound.

Access the evaporator fan:

• Remove the interior rear panel to expose the evaporator coil and fan assembly.
• Inspect the fan blades for ice, debris, or damage. Clear any obstructions.
• Spin the fan by hand; it should move freely without resistance.

Check wiring and motor:

• Inspect the fan motor wiring harness and connector. Reseat the connector firmly.
• With the freezer plugged in and calling for cooling (use caution), check if voltage is present at the fan motor terminals. If voltage is present but the fan does not run, the motor is defective.

Replace the evaporator fan motor:

• Unplug the freezer again.
• Remove mounting screws and detach the fan motor from its bracket.
• Install an Igloo-compatible evaporator fan motor and transfer the fan blade if necessary.
• Ensure wiring is routed away from the fan blades and sharp edges.

Reassemble and test: Reinstall the rear panel, restore power, and verify that the fan runs and the E8 code clears. Monitor temperature for several hours.
