Display shows E8; water pump does not circulate water over the evaporator, or runs dry.

Safety first: Disconnect power before opening the water reservoir or pump compartment.

• Check water level: Ensure the internal reservoir is filled to the correct level. Some Gorenje ice makers will show E8 if the pump runs dry.
• Access pump: Remove the ice bin and internal covers to reach the water sump and pump assembly.
• Clean pump and filter: Remove the pump (if designed to be removable). Rinse the impeller and housing to clear scale, slime, or debris. Clean any inlet screens or filters.
• Inspect wiring: Confirm the pump connector is fully seated on the harness and shows no corrosion or burning.
• Bench test pump: With the pump removed and using a safe low-voltage test setup or mains (as specified), briefly energize the pump to see if it spins. Replace if seized or noisy.
• Reinstall and prime: Refit the pump, fill the reservoir, and tilt the unit slightly if needed to help remove airlocks. Restore power and check if E8 clears.
