Possible Causes

How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Unplug before testing sensors.
Steps:
- 1. Verify sensor type: Ensure any previously replaced NTC sensors are the correct part number for the IKEA model.
- 2. Check sensor placement: Sensors must be clipped firmly to the evaporator or wall as designed; loose sensors can misread temperatures.
- 3. Test resistance: Compare sensor readings at known temperatures (e.g., ice water ~0°C) to manufacturer specs.
- 4. Replace incorrect or faulty sensors: Install correct OEM sensors and route wiring properly.
- 5. Control board: If sensors are correct and E8 persists, the board may require replacement.
