E8 displayed, unit does not start ice cycle, water pump does not run or runs dry.

Safety first: Unplug the Severin ice maker and empty the water reservoir before removing internal covers.

• Check water level and seating: Ensure the water tank is properly seated and filled to the correct level. Some models will show E8 if the pump draws air.
• Inspect pump inlet: Locate the water pump (usually at the bottom of the reservoir or under the tank). Remove any debris or scale from the inlet screen.
• Bleed air from pump: Refill the reservoir and tilt the unit slightly to help trapped air escape from the pump. Start a cycle and listen for the pump. If it hums but does not move water, it may be air-locked or jammed.
• Access and test pump: Remove the housing to access the pump. Check the wiring connector and measure coil resistance with a multimeter. An open circuit indicates a failed pump.
• Check for blockage: Disconnect the outlet hose and verify water can flow freely through the tubing. Clean any mineral buildup.
• Replace pump: If the pump does not run or is noisy and weak, replace it with a compatible Severin circulation water pump. If the pump is good but never receives voltage, the control PCB pump driver may be defective.
