Possible Causes

Failed bin door switch, Misaligned door or actuator, Broken switch wiring, Control board input fault

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Disconnect power before working around switches and wiring.

Steps to address EC08:

  • 1. Inspect bin door alignment: Ensure the ice bin door closes fully and evenly. Adjust hinges or mounting screws if the door is sagging or misaligned.
  • 2. Locate the door switch: The switch is typically mounted near the bin opening and actuated by the door or a lever.
  • 3. Test switch operation: With power off, remove the switch from its mounting and test continuity with a multimeter while pressing and releasing the actuator. Replace the switch if it does not change state reliably.
  • 4. Check wiring: Inspect the harness for breaks, especially where it passes through the cabinet. Repair or replace damaged wiring.
  • 5. Control board: If a known-good switch and wiring still result in EC08, the control board input may be faulty and require professional service.
