Hisense ice maker displays E8; compressor may attempt to start repeatedly and click off.

Safety: Unplug the unit. The compressor and surrounding components can be hot; allow them to cool.

• Check supply voltage: Use a multimeter to confirm the outlet voltage is within the specified range for the Hisense unit.
• Access compressor terminals: Remove the rear lower panel to expose the compressor, start relay/PTC, and overload protector.
• Inspect start components: Remove the relay and overload from the compressor pins. Look for burn marks, rattling pieces inside the relay, or melted plastic.
• Test continuity: Use a multimeter to check continuity through the overload and appropriate resistance through the PTC relay. Replace any open or shorted components.
• Check compressor windings: Measure resistance between C-R, C-S, and R-S terminals. If readings are out of range or windings are shorted to ground, the compressor is likely failed.
• Replace parts: Install a new Hisense-compatible start relay and overload protector if they are defective. If the compressor is locked or electrically failed, professional sealed-system service or replacement is required.
