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.
