How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the unit before accessing the control board.

Reset and inspect the control board:

Disconnect power for at least 5 minutes to allow the control to fully discharge.
Remove the front control panel or rear access cover (depending on model) to reach the main control board.
Inspect the board for burn marks, swollen components, or corrosion.
Check all wire harness connectors for a secure fit. Unplug and replug each connector one at a time to ensure good contact.
Restore power and see if the E8 code clears. If the unit briefly runs and then fails again, the board may be intermittently failing.
If there is visible damage or the error will not clear, replace the main control board with the exact Frigidaire replacement part number.

Note: Control board replacement is often best handled by a qualified technician due to the risk of miswiring.
