Display shows E8; ice maker stops; ice bin may be empty even though the unit thinks it is full.

Safety: Disconnect power before working near moving parts or electrical connectors.

Steps to address E8:

• Empty and inspect bin: Remove all ice from the storage bin. Check for large clumps of ice that may be blocking the bin full sensor or arm.
• Clean sensor lenses: For optical sensors, locate the emitter and receiver on opposite sides of the bin opening. Clean both lenses with a soft, damp cloth to remove frost, dust, or mineral deposits.
• Check mechanical arm: If your Vestfrost model uses a mechanical bin arm, ensure it moves freely and is not jammed by ice or bent. The arm should return to its resting position when the bin is empty.
• Inspect wiring and bracket: Verify that the sensor bracket is firmly mounted and aligned. Check the wiring harness for damage and reseat the connector at the control board.
• Test switch (if applicable): Use a multimeter to test continuity of the bin full microswitch when the arm is up vs. down. Replace the ice bin full sensor assembly if faulty.
• Power up and test: Restore power and run a cycle. Confirm that the unit now recognizes the bin as empty and begins ice production.

Note: Do not tape or permanently bypass the bin full sensor; this can cause overfilling and damage.
