Freezer displays E8 and may run continuously without reaching the set temperature; compressor is hot to the touch.

Safety first: Unplug the freezer before cleaning or working near the compressor and condenser. Allow hot components to cool.

• Check ventilation: Ensure there is adequate clearance around the freezer (typically at least 5–10 cm at sides and rear). Do not push the unit tightly against the wall.
• Clean condenser coils: Access the rear or bottom of the freezer and locate the condenser coils. Use a soft brush and vacuum to remove dust and lint. This is critical for Logik freezers with rear or bottom-mounted condensers.
• Inspect condenser fan (if present): Some upright Logik freezers have a condenser fan near the compressor. Confirm it spins freely and runs when the compressor is on. Replace the condenser fan motor if seized or not running.
• Check ambient temperature: Ensure the freezer is not installed in a very hot or unventilated room, which can trigger over-temperature faults.
• Power reset: After cleaning and improving ventilation, unplug for 10 minutes, then reconnect. Monitor whether E8 clears and the temperature drops over several hours.

When to call a technician: If E8 persists despite good airflow and clean coils, the compressor may be weak or the sealed system may be compromised. These issues require professional diagnosis and repair.
