E8 error appears, water pump does not seem to circulate water over the evaporator.

Safety: Unplug the ice maker and drain water before removing the pump.

• Check water level: Ensure the reservoir is filled to the correct level. Very low water can cause the pump to run dry or airlock.
• Listen for pump operation: Plug in and start a cycle. After the initial start, you should hear a gentle humming or water trickling. If silent, the pump may not be running.
• Clean pump inlet: Unplug the unit, remove the ice basket, and locate the pump intake screen or filter in the reservoir. Clean any debris, scale, or slime with a soft brush and warm water.
• Inspect pump and hoses: Access the pump from the bottom or side panel. Check that hoses are not kinked and are firmly attached. Verify the pump connector is secure on the wiring harness.
• Bench test the pump (advanced): With the pump removed and using a suitable low-voltage supply (per Baridi specs), briefly power the pump to see if it spins. If it does not run or is noisy, replace the pump assembly.
• Reassemble and test: Refit the pump, refill with water, and run a cycle. If E8 persists, suspect a control board output fault to the pump.
