E08 displayed; ice maker stops mid-cycle and may show signs of frost buildup.

Safety first: Disconnect power before accessing the evaporator and heater components. Surfaces may be sharp.

• Defrost the unit: Allow the ice maker to sit powered off with the door open until all ice and frost melt. Place towels to catch water.
• Access heater: Remove the ice bin and front cover to expose the evaporator plate and harvest heater (often a metal rod or embedded element).
• Inspect wiring: Check the heater leads and connectors for burns, breaks, or loose connections. Reseat connectors.
• Check thermal fuse/thermostat: Locate any inline thermal fuse or thermostat attached to the evaporator. If it appears burnt or cracked, it may be open and require replacement.
• Test operation: Reassemble, restore power, and run a cycle. If E08 returns and the evaporator does not warm slightly during harvest, the heater circuit or control board is likely faulty and should be serviced by a technician.
